Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Faringdon?
Within the conveyancing process, there are three stages:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When the buyer and seller agree to a deal a contract is made. This contract will only become legally binding once it is signed and exchanged.
Following this, the buyer and their solicitor will examine the property to make sure it is as advertised. This is done through a serious of checks like:
- 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 it is necessary, the buyer may then choose to apply for a mortgage.
If both parties are in agreement, the contract will be signed. After this point, the transaction is legally binding and is either party wants to back out of the deal they will have to pay a financial penalty.
Finally, the seller will leave the property and a transfer deal is submitted to HM Land Registry making the transaction official. This is called completion.

After you begin instructing a solicitor and the property offer is initially accepted, a basic conveyancing process will take between 12 and 14 weeks.
