Conveyancing is the legal transfer of home ownership from the seller to you and it usually takes between 12 to 16 weeks. The process starts when you make your offer on the property you’d like to buy. This legal process is usually conducted by a solicitor due to the complexity, which takes most buyers by surprise.

It is important to note that not all the information about a property is available when viewing. A solicitor can take care of gathering all the information needed during the different steps in the conveyancing process. They can help by researching the local authorities and utility companies as well as checking how the property is categorised, for example, if the property is a listed building or located in a conservation area.

Your solicitors will also make sure the property you are going to buy has no financial liabilities. They will check for any additional costs applicable to your purchase such as stump duty and other related fees with regards to your registration as the new owner.
