Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Farnham?
There are three major stages in the conveyancing process, these are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When the seller agrees to an offer submitted by the buyer, this is known as a verbal agreement, but it is not yet legally binding.
In the next stage, there are several property checks the buyer will need to carry out before completion. These include:
- Reviewing property information provided by the seller and making further enquiries if necessary (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
- Conducting conveyancing property searches, such as local authority checks (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
- Carrying out an independent survey (done by the buyer)
At this stage, should the buyer need one, they can apply for a mortgage.
If both parties are happy and still wish to continue, the contracts will be signed and exchanged, making the transaction legally binding. A financial repercussion could occur if either party pulls out.
The next step of the process is completion. Once the transaction is official it will be registered with HMLR, and the buyer can move into the property when they are ready.
How long does conveyancing take in Farnham?
An exact time frame cannot be determined for conveyancing transactions as each case has its own set of circumstances. Despite this, the average time frame is between 12 and 14 weeks.
Delays can easily occur, making the time frame longer. If your case is delayed, our team will inform you and provide a number of appropriate options.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Farnham?
There are a number of searches which need to be carried out before the transaction can be finalised to make certain everything is in order.
There are three major conveyancing searches in the transaction process. These are:
- Local authority checks – to check the surrounding area for planning, pollution, highway pollution or other related issues
- Environmental searches – to check for issues such as flooding or land contamination
- Water and drainage searches – to check matters such as water and drainage access
Extra property searches may be necessary. This depends on the property type and where it is located. If it affects your transaction, we will contact you.
