FAQs

What does a solicitor do when I’m purchasing a property?

We handle all legal aspects of your purchase — from reviewing contracts and carrying out searches, to liaising with the seller’s solicitor, your mortgage lender, and registering your ownership with the Land Registry.

When should I contact my solicitor?

As soon as your offer is accepted. The earlier we’re involved, the more efficiently we can manage the process and advise you on key steps.

How long does the conveyancing process take?

Typically 12-16 weeks, but this can vary depending on the property, chain length, and how quickly paperwork is completed by all parties. We always aim to complete when it is suitable for all parties.

What is Stamp Duty and do I have to pay it?

Stamp Duty may apply depending on the purchase price and whether you're a first-time buyer. We’ll guide you through it and handle the submission.

How much will the legal fees be?

We offer clear, upfront pricing with no hidden costs. Fees vary depending on the type and value of the property — contact us for a tailored quote.

Do I need a property survey for my new purchase?

Yes, a survey checks the physical condition of the property. We focus on the legal side; a surveyor will assess structural integrity and highlight any repairs. We always recommend to our clients to have a survey carried out on the property they are hoping to purchase.

Who sets the completion date?

The completion date is set by your solicitor, the otherside solicitor, as well as the bank, and the purchase & seller. All 5 parties must be involved in the process. We recommend that only when the time is close to signing the contract that you begin to discuss or think about the completion date.
