Resources & FAQ
When should I instruct my conveyancer?
Ideally, as soon as you decide to sell or start viewing properties. Early instruction allows for document preparation, which can save weeks of time later in the process.
How long does a typical move take?
Most residential transactions complete within 8 to 12 weeks. This can vary based on the complexity of the chain and the responsiveness of local authorities and lenders.
What are disbursements?
These are costs paid to third parties on your behalf, such as local search fees, Land Registry fees, and Stamp Duty. We provide a clear breakdown of these in every quote.
Do I need to visit the office in person?
While we love meeting our clients, most conveyancing can be handled remotely via email, phone, and secure document portals for your convenience but we welcome any clients who do want to do face to face.
