Buying a home? Here’s your conveyancing guide. This guide walks you through the conveyancing process when we’re acting for you as the buyer.
Surveys and searches
“Don’t just rely on the mortgage valuation - get your own survey to avoid costly surprises.”
“We run essential searches to uncover hidden issues like planning, drainage, and environmental risks.”
The pre-contract stage
“We check the contract, raise questions, and make sure everything’s legally sound before you sign.”
Insurance and Assurance
“Arrange cover before exchange - your lender will have requirements, and we’ll guide you through them.”
“If your mortgage needs life cover, set it up early to avoid delays - ask us if you’re unsure, we can arrange it.”
Ownership and Wills
“Buying together? Decide between joint tenants or tenants in common - ask us if you need advice.”
Exchange of contracts
“Before exchange, we’ll need your signatures and original ID to keep things moving.”
“You’ll pay a deposit at exchange - usually 10%. We’ll confirm the amount and how to send it safely.”
“Exchange makes the sale legally binding - be patient, and don’t book removals until it’s confirmed.”
After exchange of contracts
“We’ll handle final checks, request funds, and send you a statement showing what’s left to pay.”
Completion
“Completion day = keys day!
After completion
“We’ll pay stamp duty, register you as the owner, and send proof once everything’s done.”
