Questions
Before you start in London.
Short answers to the questions clients usually ask before getting a quote or instructing us.
How long does conveyancing take?
Average residential transactions take 8-12 weeks from instruction to completion, though this varies based on chain length, property type, and any complications discovered. We provide realistic timelines and regular updates, working efficiently to meet your target completion date while ensuring thorough legal protection.
What searches and checks are needed?
Standard searches include local authority, environmental, water and drainage, and chancel repair liability searches. Additional searches may be needed based on location and property type, such as mining, flood risk, or conservation area searches. We'll advise which searches are recommended for your specific property.
What are my legal obligations as a seller?
Sellers must provide accurate information about their property, including any known defects, disputes, or planning issues. You'll need to complete property information and fixtures and fittings forms honestly. We'll guide you through all requirements and ensure proper disclosure to avoid future liability.
What are conveyancing fees and what do they include?
Conveyancing fees vary by property value and complexity but typically range from £800-£1,500 (exclusive of VAT) plus disbursements. Fees cover legal work, contract review, searches, enquiries, and completion. Disbursements include search fees, Land Registry charges, and stamp duty. We provide transparent fixed-fee quotes with no hidden costs. All our legal fees exclude VAT.
What happens if the property chain breaks down?
Chain breakdown can occur when any party in the linked transactions withdraws. We actively monitor all parties in your chain, identify potential issues early, and work to prevent collapse. If breakdown occurs, we'll advise on options including finding alternative properties, renegotiating terms, or pursuing compensation where applicable.
Do I need a survey when buying a property?
While not legally required, surveys are strongly recommended to identify structural problems, defects, and maintenance issues that could cost thousands later. Survey types range from basic condition reports to full structural surveys. We can recommend appropriate surveyors and help interpret survey findings.
