Conveyancing FAQs
How does the conveyancing process work in Bampton?
In the property transaction process, there are three main steps. These are:
- Offer and acceptance
- Exchange of contracts
- Completion
When a seller accepts a buyer’s offer, a verbal agreement is entered, but this is not legally binding until the contracts have been exchanged and signed.
At this stage, several conveyancing checks will need to be made by your solicitor. These generally include:
- 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)
Should the buyer need a mortgage, they will apply at this stage.
Once all conveyancing checks have been made, the contracts can be exchanged and signed by the involved parties. Once this has occured the transaction is legally binding and neither party is able to pull out without a financial penalty.
The contract exchange and signing makes the transaction official, and this is known as completion. The transfer deed will be submitted to HMLR, and the buyer can move into their new property.
How long does conveyancing take in Bampton?
Each conveyancing transaction is different, meaning no exact time frame can be given. However, we can confirm that generally, the average conveyancing transaction takes between 12 and 14 weeks from offer acceptance to completion.
It’s wise to keep in mind that delays, unfortunately, can happen in property transactions. If your transaction is delayed, your solicitor will keep you informed.
What searches are involved in conveyancing in Bampton?
To ensure there are no problems with the property that needs addressing, your solicitor will undergo a number of checks. These checks often include:
- 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
Additional checks may be necessary, but you will be made aware of this in advance.
