FAQs
A conveyancer specialising in property law, is essential for handling the complex legal aspects of buying or selling a property. They ensure that all legal documents are correctly prepared and reviewed, conduct necessary searches, manage financial transactions, and provide expert advice to protect your interests throughout the process.
The duration of the conveyancing process can vary depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the transaction and the efficiency of the parties involved, however traditionally you can expect most lawyers to take between 12 and 14 weeks from the acceptance of an offer to the completion of the transaction. At Nationwide Conveyancers we complete the process in half that time.
Conveyancing searches are checks conducted to uncover any potential issues with the property, such as planning restrictions, flood risks, or other factors that could affect your decision to proceed. These searches traditionally take between 2 to 6 weeks to complete and are essential for ensuring there are no hidden problems with the property. At Nationwide Conveyancers we cut that time in half without any concession to quality.
Conveyancing costs typically include legal fees, search fees, Land Registry fees, and Stamp Duty Land Tax (for purchases over a certain value). At Nationwide Conveyancers, we provide transparent, all-inclusive quotes so you know exactly what to expect. We offer competitive pricing without hidden charges.
While it is legally possible to handle your own conveyancing, it is not recommended due to the complex and detailed nature of the process. Mistakes or oversights can lead to significant legal and financial consequences. Hiring a professional conveyancer through Nationwide Conveyancers ensures that the transaction is handled correctly and efficiently, providing peace of mind and protecting your interests.
