Conveyancing FAQs

How does the conveyancing process work in Rickmansworth?

The typical conveyancing process consists of: 

  • Offer and acceptance
  • Exchange of contracts
  • Completion

When a seller accepts an offer, a verbal contract is entered. It isn’t until the exchange of contracts that the agreement is legally binding. 

There are various checks involved in the general conveyancing process. These 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)

At this stage, most risks involved with the transaction have been identified and, where possible, minimised. Both parties, once happy, can go ahead and exchange contracts. Should either party wish to pull out of the agreement beyond this point, a financial penalty will be incurred. 

Sometime after the exchange of contracts, completion will take place. This is when the transaction reaches a close and a transfer deed is submitted to HM Land Registry. 

How long does conveyancing take in Rickmansworth?

Every property transaction is different and the time it takes to complete one could differ entirely from the time it takes to complete another. On average, we expect a typical translation to take between 12 and 14 weeks from the initial offer acceptance. 

Bear in mind that in some cases, delays happen and it’s vital that time is taken to rectify any issues with your transaction as opposed to rushing the process along. At Bird & Co, we promise to keep you abreast of any delays, explain why the delay has occurred and discuss the next steps with you. 

What searches are involved in conveyancing in Rickmansworth?

At Bird & Co, we will carry out the following conveyancing searches during your transaction: 

  • 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

Should any additional checks be required, we will notify you in advance.
