FAQs About Our Conveyancing Services
A conveyancer manages all the legal and administrative work needed to transfer property ownership from the seller to the buyer. They are your legal representative from start to finish. They are responsible for reviewing contracts, handling payments, conducting property searches, registering the new ownership, liaising with local authorities and other parties involved in the transaction, etc.
From the offer acceptance to completion, they will make sure everything is done in a legal manner that serves your best interest.

The conveyancing timeline will depend on the property type and the specific conditions of the buyer and seller. If the parties are responsive, the conveyancing process will go faster.

Check out our tips to speed up the conveyancing process.
Conveyancing fees include the legal fees paid to your conveyancer and disbursement costs that cover third-party expenses (e.g. local authority searches, Stamp Duty rates, Land Registry fees, etc.) The total cost will depend on your property’s value, property type and location.

A “no chain” means your property transaction isn’t dependent on other sales or purchases before it can be completed. Without a property chain, conveyancing is quicker. A no-chain transaction could take as fast as 5 to 8 weeks to complete. Of course, the speed of the conveyancing process will still depend on the efficiency of the conveyancer.
Learn more about the conveyancing timelines with no chain.
Also known as property searches, conveyancing searches are checks carried out by the conveyancer on your behalf. These searches may include local authority searches, flood risk searches, conservation areas, etc. This aims to uncover any legal, environmental or structural issues involving the property.
If there are risks or restrictions on the property, it would affect its value. This is essential to ensure buyers know exactly what they are paying for.
Explore the different conveyancing searches that should be done before completion.
The exchange of contracts occurs when the buyer and seller sign and swap contracts. This makes the agreement legally binding. A deposit is usually paid at this point to secure the deal.
In case the buyer or seller decides to pull out of the exchange, they could face financial consequences.
The next stage after the exchange is the completion date, when the buyer officially gets the keys and other details specified in the agreement.
