Conveyancing FAQs

How does the conveyancing process work in Arlesey?

When buying or selling a property in Arlesey, the entire conveyancing process can be segmented into three key stages: 

  • Offer and acceptance
  • Exchange of contracts
  • Completion

Once negotiations are complete, and a seller accepts an offer from a buyer, the two parties enter an agreement and should then look to instruct a solicitor that is right for them. These solicitors will then manage the entire process for both parties, liaising with one another whilst keeping their clients up to date throughout the process.

The buyer’s chosen solicitor will schedule a property valuation which will look for any issues with the property as well as whether or not the property is worth the offer put in by the buyer.

These checks involve:

  • Reviewing property information provided by the seller and making further enquiries if necessary (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
  • Conducting conveyancing property searches, such as local authority checks (done by the conveyancing solicitor)
  • Carrying out an independent survey (done by the buyer)

If the checks come back OK and both parties are happy to continue, the arrangement can move into a legally binding agreement when contracts are signed and exchanged. 

Once both parties have signed contracts and once all other documentation has been organised, the seller can vacate the property, and the keys are handed over to the new owner by their solicitor. 

How long does conveyancing take in Arlesey?

Conveyancing doesn’t take a specific amount of time to be completed. Remortgaging a property will take a completely different amount of time to selling a property, for example. What’s more, a first time buyer’s property purchase may take a lot less time than that of another buyer who’s stuck in a lengthy chain.

There are so many factors that influence the time it takes to complete a property transaction that no two are the same. That being said, we will try to estimate the length of time it will take to complete your own specific transaction, and if you choose to instruct us, we will keep you up to date along the way, especially if delays come about. 

What searches are involved in conveyancing in Arlesey?

Once property checks and valuations have been carried out, your conveyancer will arrange a number of local area checks to be made. This again will aim to uncover any risks associated with buying the property in question, and an overview of the findings will be provided to you. 

The standard conveyancing checks are: 

  • Local authority checks – to check the surrounding area for planning, pollution, highway pollution or other related issues
  • Environmental searches – to check for issues such as flooding or land contamination
  • Water and drainage searches – to check matters such as water and drainage access
