What is conveyancing?
It is the process of transferring the legal title to a property from the seller to the buyer. The steps required in conveyancing are the same for each transaction, yet the time they take to complete varies depending on the circumstances involved (such as the condition of the property or if the buyer and/or seller are in a chain).
How long does conveyancing normally take?
If the transaction is straightforward, the conveyancing process should take roughly six to eight weeks to complete. Complex transactions, however, can take much longer. It is important to be aware that unexpected problems can occur and cause delays in any situation. An experienced Conveyancing Solicitor will help you deal with any complications effectively and get your transaction back on track as quickly as possible.
What problems can delay conveyancing?
There are several issues that can impact the time it takes for your sale or purchase to complete. Some of the most common include structural or other fundamental problems with the condition of the property, a delay to the buyer’s mortgage approval or a disagreement between the parties on one or more of the contract terms – such as the property price or who has responsibility for remedial works.
How can I keep my transaction moving?
It can be very frustrating if your property sale or purchase slows down or comes to a standstill. Our team will be working hard to minimise delays. There are steps you can take too to help your sale or purchase progress:
- Take care to provide accurate information in all forms and communications.
- Keep your paperwork up to date and organised.
- Respond to enquiries from your Residential Conveyancing Lawyer, mortgage lender (if applicable) and all other people involved as soon as possible.
Having said all that, it is also important not to rush. As this will be one of the most valuable and important transactions you will make, the decisions and details involved must be considered carefully. Our team will keep you informed so that you feel clear and confident at every stage.
