What Is Conveyancing When Selling a Property?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from you (the seller) to the buyer. It involves preparing legal documents, responding to enquiries and working with the buyer’s solicitor to ensure a legally binding and compliant transaction.

Our role is to:

• Prepare the contract pack

• Handle legal enquiries from the buyer’s solicitor

• Liaise with your estate agent and mortgage lender (if applicable)

• Resolve any legal issues that arise

• Exchange contracts and agree a completion date

• Manage funds on completion and redeem any outstanding mortgage

What’s the Process of Selling a Property?

1. Instruction – We’ll confirm your details, gather ID and property information, and issue our client care documents.

2. Drafting the Contract Pack – We obtain the title documents and prepare the sale contract, then send it to the buyer’s solicitor.

3. Responding to Enquiries – We work with you to answer legal and practical questions raised by the buyer’s solicitor.

4. Exchange of Contracts – Once both sides are ready, contracts are signed and exchanged. A completion date is set.

5. Completion – On the agreed date, funds are transferred, the property is legally handed over, and we settle any outstanding mortgage.
   

We’ll handle all of this for you and make the process as seamless as possible.

On average, the conveyancing process for selling a property in the UK takes 12 to 16 weeks, though this can vary depending on factors like property type, chain complexity, and responsiveness of the buyers' solicitors.

Selling a Leasehold Property?

If you’re selling a leasehold property there may be extra steps, such as obtaining a leasehold management pack and dealing with ground rent or service charge accounts. Our team has extensive experience managing leasehold sales and will guide you through every requirement.

How much do we charge?

Our fees are dependent on several factors, such as the value of the property you are selling and whether it is freehold or leasehold. Get in touch with our friendly team and we will happily give you a bespoke estimate for your specific requirements.
