National vs local conveyancing

Choosing the right conveyancing partner is an important step in your property journey. As you explore your options, you might be weighing up whether to go with a regional or national conveyancer—it’s a common question! While both provide similar services, working with Muve Conveyancing comes with unique benefits designed to make your experience even smoother.

02 Finalise your finances

Make sure you have any mortgage funding in place and your conveyancer’s details are passed to them so they can issue the mortgage offer. You’ll also need to evidence to your conveyancer how you are funding the balance of the purchase price – this is a legal requirement. At Muve we will guide you through this process.

If you’re selling and have a mortgage or other loan secured against your property, you’ll need to provide your conveyancer with the lender’s details so they can confirm how much they will pay back to the lender on your behalf, once the sale completes.

The cost of conveyancing in Hertfordshire can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of property, whether you’re buying or selling, and the complexity of the transaction. On average, conveyancing fees in the area typically range from £850 to £2,000 for standard freehold properties, but leasehold transactions or cases involving Help to Buy, gifted deposits, or shared ownership may incur additional charges. At Muve, we offer a fixed-fee pricing model, so you know exactly what you’ll pay from the outset—no hidden extras. This makes budgeting easier and gives you peace of mind throughout your property transaction. You can get a tailored, no-obligation quote through our online conveyancing calculator or by speaking directly with one of our Hertfordshire conveyancing experts.
The conveyancing process in Hertfordshire generally takes between 8 to 12 weeks, though this can vary based on the complexity of the transaction and how quickly documents are completed and returned by all parties involved. If you’re buying a leasehold property or there are issues identified during searches or surveys, the process may take slightly longer. At Muve, we aim to streamline every step of the transaction. With services like Muve Lightspeed, we can significantly reduce the average timeline—completing some freehold purchases in as little as 5 weeks. Our experienced team stays in close communication with buyers, sellers, agents, and mortgage lenders to help avoid delays and keep your transaction moving forward smoothly.
