Yes. The majority of conveyances across England take place without incident. However, some issues might arise during the process, which is why, when purchasing or selling your property, you must always take the services of a qualified conveyancer. They’ll help you avoid common pitfalls and complications when buying a family home or other type of property.

We use different ways to ensure that your conveyance is secure. For example, we send you copies of everything you need. All information is kept confidential.

The exact price for a conveyance depends on numerous factors. These include the value of the property being sold, the number of people involved, the type of property, whether or not there are any special conditions attached to your transaction, and so forth. It’s impossible to provide a definitive figure.

It would be best if you discussed the total costs with your chosen conveyancer. This way, you can make sure that you’re fully aware of what’s going to happen. And you can budget properly.

Unfortunately, this isn’t possible. The lender will look to recoup money when transferring property by taking the outstanding balance out of the sale proceeds.

This is because mortgages are secured against the property itself. In theory, the bank could seize the house if the borrower fails to repay his loan.

Equity is the difference between the market value of your home and the amount you still owe on your mortgage. Equity can be used to borrow more money against the property. However, you’ll only be able to use it once your debt has been cleared.

After paying off the existing mortgage and fees, your remaining balance of funds should go into your name. This is known as ‘your equity.

Your conveyance begins when you sign the contract. You’ll receive an official copy of the document within two weeks.

Once you’ve signed the agreement, the conveyancer will begin preparing all the necessary paperwork. This includes ensuring that the title deeds are ready to hand over and that the correct legal documents are filed at the appropriate authorities.

Your conveyancer will then contact the relevant authorities to register the change of ownership. This usually takes around three months.

Once the registration is completed, the conveyancer will send you a copy of the certificate. This shows which parties were responsible for the changes made to your property. Your original documents will remain with the conveyancer.

No. A fee will be charged upfront for each transaction. There may even be additional charges depending on how long the process takes.

However, it’s important to remember that many conveyancers offer free initial consultations. They will explain everything in detail and help you decide if you want to proceed.

That’s entirely up to you. Some lawyers may charge higher rates than others. But they should be upfront about their prices and ask if you’d prefer them to work on a fixed-fee basis.

Again, it isn’t easy to give a precise figure because you’ll vary from person to person based on various factors.

Most conveyancers quote based on hourly rates. This means that a larger deposit might result in a higher overall cost. So, you might want to consider the size of the deposit required before committing yourself.

Yes. When you move home, you’re also moving out of the rental market. As such, landlords may increase the rent or refuse to renew the lease.

As well as losing potential revenue, tenants are also liable for any arrears and fees. These could include rent protection insurance, council tax, water rates, etc.

To avoid problems, make sure you tell your landlord in writing that your new address has changed. If he disagrees, then he could take further action without notice.

If you wish to postpone the sale of the property, you must notify the selling agent. In most cases, this involves providing extra security. Once you’ve done this, the conveyance will be put on hold.

It’s worth noting that some agents will automatically postpone your sale if they receive a letter from your solicitors.

With online conveyancing, you need to log into the company’s website using your email address and login details. After you complete the form, it’ll instantly appear as if someone had logged onto the site. The solicitor will then enter your data into the system and submit the documentation. All you need to do is confirm the final documents once they arrive via email. You can access documents whenever you like by logging back into the site and clicking on ‘My Documents.’
