As the government continues to support the building of new homes, there’s a decent chance that the property you’re interested in buying is going to be a new build. As you often have to commit to your purchase before the building work is completed, the conveyancing process is different compared to buying an older home.

It is difficult to make sense of the costs for Conveyancing when each firm displays their charges in a different way, so here is a handy guide for you to use.

If you are buying a home, your conveyancer will carry out searches as part of the conveyancing process. They are done to check if there is anything you need to know about the property and that there are no problems for you to be concerned about.

Whether you’re buying or selling, the conveyancing process begins once an offer has been accepted on a property. How long this takes varies from case to case, and there’s no definitive answer as to how long it will take when you decide to move. As a rough guide, you should be looking at less than three months if you’re not involved in a chain, while if you are then it’s not uncommon for the conveyancing process to take up to six months.

So you’ve finally found the house of your dreams, but whether you’re getting your foot on the property ladder or moving into your forever home, the buying process can feel overwhelming. You’ll need to consider conveyancing, which you can’t buy a property without.
