What to Expect
The length of each property transaction can vary, but it usually follows a clear set of steps. On average, it can take around 8-12 weeks from offer to completion, depending on factors like property chains and how quickly information is provided.
We’ll talk you through each stage of the process, with regular updates and clear advice so you always know what’s happening.
We’ll manage the legal side of your transaction, from reviewing contracts to carrying out searches and liaising with the other party’s solicitor. You’ll just need to provide a few key documents and respond to any queries, and we’ll keep you informed so you always know what’s happening.
If timing is important to you, we’ll work with you to help move things forward. While we’ll do everything we can to keep things on track, timelines can sometimes be affected by external factors outside of our control.
When Should I Instruct a Conveyancing Solicitor?
If you’re selling a property, it’s a good idea to find a conveyancing solicitor before you accept an offer. This way, everything is ready to go once a buyer has been found and the process can move forward smoothly.
Your solicitor will advise you of all the paperwork you’ll need, so you can be fully prepared from the start.
If you’re buying a property, it’s best to instruct a solicitor as soon as your offer has been accepted. However, it can also be helpful to identify a suitable solicitor beforehand so there are no delays when you’re ready to proceed - you’ll often be asked early on who your solicitor is.

FAQs
What is Conveyancing?
“Conveyancing” is the legal transfer of property ownership from one person to another.
How Long Does The Conveyancing Process Take?
The length of the conveyancing process can vary depending on many different factors such as whether there is a conveyancing “chain”, how motivated parties are to move, and how quickly information can be exchanged.
If everything goes smoothly, the conveyancing process can take around 8-12 weeks.
Please advise us if you would like a quick sale and we will strive to work with you to make this happen. However, we cannot guarantee that we can expedite the process as this is dependent on external factors.
Do I Need a Conveyancing Solicitor?
You will need either a conveyancing solicitor or a conveyancer to handle the legal transfer of property ownership.
A conveyancing solicitor deals with the legalities of your sale or purchase of property to ensure that all the correct documentation is in place and that the process is done legally.
What Should I Look For When Instructing a Property Lawyer?
When you are choosing a property lawyer, it is important that you look for one who is accredited and regulated. This means that the organisation must adhere to certain industry standards in order to be able to practice and remain regulated.
Since you are making such a significant transaction, it is crucial that you can trust your conveyancer, that the transaction is secure and that you are protected.
In addition, you must be sure that you are choosing a property lawyer with the expertise and experience to deal with a case like yours and that they have positive reviews to back this up.
Communication is vital when it comes to the conveyancing process. You want to have the peace of mind that your matter is being dealt with in a timely manner and that everything is under control and progressing well.
