Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Hayling Island?
There are three stages to the conveyancing process you should be aware of. These are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
To start, if the seller accepts an offer from a prospective buyer, both parties will agree to enter into a contract. Note that this is simply an agreement – until the contract is signed and exchanged, the transaction is not legally binding.
The buyer and their conveyancer will then have the opportunity to conduct several checks on the property to ensure that everything is in order. Examples of checks 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)
The buyer will also apply for a mortgage at this stage if required.
Once both parties are ready to proceed, they then proceed to sign and exchange contracts. Once this step is complete, the transaction is considered legally binding, and neither party will be able to pull out without incurring a penalty.
Upon completion, the transaction will then be considered official. A transfer deed is submitted to HM Land Registry, and the seller will need to vacate the property on a specified date.
How long does conveyancing take in Hayling Island?
The time it takes to complete a transaction will depend on a number of factors. You can expect a standard transaction to take around 12-14 weeks to reach completion, but this could be extended in certain scenarios.
If your transaction is likely to experience delays, your conveyancing will let you know and run you through your options.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Hayling Island?
If you are buying a property in Hayling Island, your conveyancing will want to conduct a number of checks to make sure everything is in order.
Conveyancing searches could include:
- 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
Where further checks are necessary, your solicitor will discuss these with you.
