How Long?

How long does the conveyancing process take?

The average sale or purchase should take 4 to 6 weeks, but this can vary depending on a number of other factors.

The conveyance of leasehold property can takes longer than a freehold property because it's necessary to obtain additional information from the managing agent or owners of the property - especially if they're not UK resident.

To be on the safe side - allow up to 12 weeks for the process to complete, longer if complicated chains are involved.

Is local best?

OK, so it's time to sell and / or purchase a property, and you need to choose a solicitor to undertake your conveyancing. The big question is: do you find a local solicitor, with a local office or do you use a national solicitor?

The obvious advantage to using a local solicitor is that you can meet face to face, but that's just about where the advantages end. There are no aspects to conveyancing that require you to be physically present during the process. Documents can be signed then faxed or put in the post. All other communication can be done by telephone or email. Most national conveyancers provide excellent case tracking facilities, and will keep you up-to-date with progress. The national conveyancers are highly experienced, and will usually cost far less than using a local firm.
