Is the conveyancing process time consuming?

Whether or not conveyancing is a time consuming process depends on your particular circumstances, including who is involved in your house sale and whether either the buyer or seller has another property to sell before they can proceed. Signature Law understands how stressful buying and selling a home can be and will always strive to ensure your purchase or sale proceeds as quickly as possible.

What happens when you exchange contracts on a house?

When you exchange contracts, the house sale becomes legally binding and it is rare from that moment for house sales to collapse because there would be financial implications for one or other of the parties if it did. If you are buying a house, the contract exchange will take place between you and the seller (and you and the person buying your old property, if you have one). Usually, the conveyancing solicitors representing each party call each other to make sure the contracts are aligned before transferring your deposit to your seller’s solicitor.

How long does it take to exchange contracts on a house?

Unfortunately, there is no set time scale for exchanging contracts on a house – it can take a day or several weeks to complete. Our team will always move quickly to ensure the whole thing is as quick and as stress-free for you as possible. For more information about Signature Law’s conveyancing services call 01708 398851.
