Conveyancing refers to the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from one party to another. 

Typically, conveyancing takes between 8-12 weeks in England & Wales, but various factors can influence this timeline.

Disbursements are additional costs in a property transaction, such as Land Registry fees, local search fees, and stamp duty land tax. 

A solicitor ensures that all legal aspects of the transaction are correctly addressed, safeguarding your interests and averting potential pitfalls. 

Some parts of the conveyancing process can be managed online, but direct communication with your solicitor is often advisable for crucial stages.

With freehold, you own the property and the land. With a leasehold, you own the property for a set period, not the land. 

It’s advisable to consult a solicitor early, ideally before making or accepting an offer, to ensure smooth legal proceedings. 

Comprehensive property searches and due diligence, conducted by your solicitor, will identify potential legal issues. 

A deposit, typically a percentage of the property’s purchase price, is paid upon contract exchange, securing the buyer’s intent.

If a transaction doesn’t complete, reasons need to be addressed. Depending on your agreement, you may still need to pay for some services.
