What is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the process of transferring a property from one owner to another. The key stages are exchange of contracts when the transaction becomes legally binding and completion when the money is transferred and everyone moves.

There is a lot of legal and administrative work to do before we can exchange contracts and complete. While the conveyancing process is fairly similar for each transaction, each transaction will be different.
If you are obtaining a mortgage all the lender’s conditions in the mortgage offer must be dealt with before funds can be requested from them.
Our Seven Steps to Moving House provides the key steps of what is involved in purchasing a property.

How long does Conveyancing take?
Most conveyancing transactions take on average 10 to 12 weeks. Some are quicker while some can take longer. The actual time will depend on several factors, for example the number of people in the conveyancing chain or the length of time taken to arrange mortgage finance.
We ask that you let us know if you have any specific requirements for a moving date and we will do our best to meet that date. However, please bear in mind that it may not always be possible as the date can only be agreed once everyone in the chain is ready.
