What is involved in the residential conveyancing purchase and sales process?

At Farani Taylor, our highly experienced conveyancing solicitors will ensure your property transaction is perfectly executed, saving you time, expense and worry. 

Our residential conveyancing solicitors will support you through a range of services, delivering quality and expertise with every transaction.

The sales process can be an overwhelming matter, particularly for first-time buyers but our solicitors will talk you through every facet of the process, ensuring that you are fully aware of every stage. A typical residential conveyancing process will follow the below stages.

  • Offer accepted 
  • Information pertaining to title deeds and redemption fees will be gathered.
  • Information is then provided to the buyer to examine. At this stage, if you have any questions before the contract is carried out, you should raise them.
  • Conveyancing searches are carried out
  • If you and your solicitor are satisfied with the findings, contracts will be signed.
  • A completion date is given upon agreement with each party
  • Completion forms are provided to the buying party’s solicitors and signed
  • Funds are obtained from the buyer’s mortgage provider
  • Once these stages are completed your solicitor will ensure all checks and finalizations are made and keys can now be exchanged

The sale process for property transactions is very similar. If you would like further details on what’s involved when selling your property, please get in touch with our team of experts, who will be happy to detail your requirements for you. 

This is not a comprehensive description of the process but merely a brief overview. Every sales or purchase process is different and you should seek expert legal advice from a knowledgeable, residential conveyancing solicitor to provide further details for your circumstances.

How long will the conveyancing take

The process for conveyancing can unfortunately not be accurately predicted. There are many variants that can impact the process from the length of the chain, transaction type, and of course the speed of other parties involved with the transaction. Usually, a straightforward transaction should take between 8-12 weeks for completion from the date of instructing a residential conveyancing solicitor. For an auction-bought property, the completion must be carried out within 28 days of an agreed fixed date.

How much does residential conveyancing cost

At Farani Taylor we pride ourselves on offering competitively priced rates of service

Our fees are based on average house prices and will vary depending upon the property price. There is no exact cost that you can expect to pay for purchasing or selling a home, Unfortunately, every circumstance is different and requires more or less legal input.

If you would like to find out more about what associated fees you can expect from your property transaction, please contact our team who will be happy to provide you with a bespoke quote for your circumstances.

More Services

Paralegals are able to perform most duties a solicitor can, except for some reserved activities which are still the monopoly of solicitors. For example, a paralegal cannot perform conveyancing transactions unless they are a licensed conveyancer or solicitor.

 

You can of course complete your own conveyancing, however, it is always useful to at least receive some free legal advice from an expert. Property law is complex and without the correct legal understanding and experience, it can be a seemingly never-ending process attempting to understand the legal jargon and legislation in place. Please bear in mind the only costs you will lose by doing it yourself are solicitors fees, you will still have to pay for all land searches and stamp duties, etc. Whilst this might seem like a cost-effective option, be mindful that incorrect applications, searches, and fees can soon mount up, and more often than not, it’s more advisable and cost-effective to seek the help of an expert from the very beginning. 

If you have any issues regarding the transfer of residential property or general property inquiries, please speak to our residential conveyancing solicitors in London today for a no-obligation chat on 0207 242 1666.

In our opinion it is advantageous to use a solicitor and here is why: 

A solicitor can help identify any potential issues with your residential property transactions and can also provide you with expert legal knowledge to ensure your transaction runs smoothly. We have several offices based nationally and internationally and are able to travel if required by the client. We also offer a free consultation so you can discuss with us your circumstances and we can inform you of your options.

Usually, a flood risk assessment, local council search, and environmental searches are a great starting point for your conveyancing searches. You may require further searches but a residential conveyancing solicitor will support you with this, detailing everything you’ll require for a successful property transaction.

When a landlord or management agency is involved with a property purchase there will be a charge for administration ( notice-fee) to amend their records, noting you as the new property owner.
