FAQs

How long will my house sale / purchase take?

How long it will take from your offer being accepted to completion will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 8 and 12 weeks.

It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the ‘chain’. For example, if you are a first-time buyer, purchasing a new build property with a mortgage in principle and the transaction goes smoothly it could take as little as 6 weeks. However, if you are buying a leasehold property that requires an extension of the lease, this can take significantly longer, between 3 and 6 months. In such, a situation additional charges would apply.
What legal work will you be doing for me?
The precise stages involved vary according to the circumstances. However typically in a property sale we need to do the following:

Take your instructions and give you initial advice

Receive and advise on sale contract documents where applicable

Carry out searches on the property you are buying where appropriate

Give you advice on all documents and information received

Send final contract to you for signature

Agree completion date (date from which you own the property)

Exchange contracts and notify you that this has happened

Complete the transaction

In a property purchase we need to do the following:

Take your instructions and give you initial advice

Check finances are in place to fund purchase where applicable and contact lender’s solicitors if needed

Carry out searches on the property you are buying where appropriate

Obtain further planning documentation if required

Make any necessary enquiries of seller’s solicitor where applicable

Give you advice on all documents and information received

Go through conditions of mortgage offer with you

Send final contract to you for signature

Agree completion date (date from which you own the property)

Exchange contracts and notify you that this has happened

Arrange for all monies needed to be received from lender and you

Complete purchase

Deal with payment of Stamp Duty/Land Tax

Deal with application for registration at Land Registry

If we are simply helping you to remortgage your property then we would generally speaking only need to:

Take your instructions and give you initial advice

Carry out searches on the property you are buying where appropriate

Obtain further planning documentation if required

Go through conditions of mortgage offer with you.

Send final documents to you for signature

Apply for mortgage advance.

Redeem any previous mortgages

Deal with application for registration at the Land Registry

It would not normally be necessary to undertake other work or incur other costs other than those described above. However, we would be very happy to provide you with a more tailored quote for all stages of your particular case once we know about your specific circumstances.
