Key takeaways when buying a house
Buying a house involves ten key steps, from preparing your finances and securing an AIP to exchange and completion.
The process typically takes 14–22 weeks after your offer is accepted, but timings vary based on chains, searches, surveys, and mortgage approval.
A conveyancer manages crucial legal checks, searches, contracts, and fund transfers, ensuring the purchase is completed correctly.
Getting a home survey and reviewing all conveyancing searches early can help identify issues and avoid delays or unexpected costs.
Once contracts are exchanged, the purchase becomes legally binding, and completion usually follows within 1–2 weeks.
