Our conveyancing fees – how much does our conveyancing cost in Wareham?
The services offered by our residential property solicitors in Wareham are covered by a variety of flexible fees. We assess each transaction as enquiries come in and we will offer a quote that’s specific to you, based on the amount of work we believe will need to be carried out.
Straightforward transactions typically incur a fixed fee, whereas more complex and lengthy transactions could cost more. We will be upfront and honest with you about the fees you can expect to incur when working with Bird & Co.
Alongside our fees, you will also be required to pay disbursements (such as the cost of conveyancing searches and registering a property with HM Land Registry). You may also be required to pay tax as part of your transaction, which will be able to confirm and calculate as your chosen conveyancer.
Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Wareham?
The three overarching stages of the conveyancing process are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When a buyer finds a property they would like to purchase, they will make an offer to the seller. There may be some negotiations involved during this stage but eventually, one lucky buyer will have an offer accepted by the seller. At this point, the two parties involved will instruct a conveyancer of their choosing.
Once solicitors are instructed, the buyer and their conveyancing team will work on a number of checks:
- 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)
Once checks have been carried out and assessed, and once both parties are happy to proceed, contracts are then reviewed, signed and exchanged. This is the point at which the agreement becomes legally binding.
Some time after the exchange of contracts comes the completion of the process. At this stage, a transfer deed is sent to HM Land Registry, the seller vacates the property and the keys are handed over to the new owner.
How long does conveyancing take in Wareham?
No two conveyancing transactions are the same and each will come across its own set of challenges. The most standard of cases will typically take around 12-14 weeks from the instruction of solicitors through to completion.
While we endeavour to process transactions as quickly as possible (without sacrificing quality), there are some external factors outside of our control that may create delays in the process. If this ever happens to be the case with your transaction, we will let you know in advance and keep you informed throughout.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Wareham?
When buying a property in Wareham, as your conveyancers, we will carry out some research and checks to look for any potential issues and risks that need to be assessed.
The three most important conveyancing searches 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
Where additional checks are required, we will let you know prior to them being carried out.
