Frequently asked questions
Conveyancing is the legal work required to transfer an interest in property, including reviewing the contract and title, carrying out searches and enquiries, dealing with funds and completing registration formalities.
Timescales vary with the chain, mortgage, searches, title issues, leasehold information and responsiveness of the parties. A solicitor should give an updated estimate once the transaction is underway.
Your quote should distinguish legal fees from disbursements such as searches, Land Registry charges and other third-party costs, and should explain VAT where applicable.
