Frequently Asked Questions
What does a conveyancing solicitor do? +
A conveyancing solicitor handles the legal process of transferring property ownership from one party to another. This includes conducting property searches, reviewing contracts, liaising with mortgage lenders, and completing the legal transfer of ownership.
How long does conveyancing take in the UK? +
Most residential conveyancing transactions take between 8 and 12 weeks, although the timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the transaction, the number of parties involved, and mortgage lender requirements.
Do I need a solicitor to buy a property? +
Yes. A solicitor or licensed conveyancer is required to handle the legal aspects of buying or selling property in England and Wales, including contracts, property searches, and registration of ownership with the Land Registry.
What is the difference between freehold and leasehold? +
Freehold ownership means you own the property and the land it stands on permanently. Leasehold ownership means you own the property for a fixed period under a lease agreement, while the freeholder retains ownership of the land.
What are property searches? +
Property searches are checks carried out with local authorities and other organisations to identify issues affecting a property, such as planning restrictions, flood risk, or local infrastructure projects.
