Frequently asked

Conveyancing, demystified.

Buying a home shouldn't feel like decoding hieroglyphics. Here are the questions our buyers ask most.

What is conveyancing — and why do I need it?

Conveyancing is the legal work of transferring property ownership from seller to buyer. It includes drafting and reviewing the contract, running searches on the property (local authority, water, environmental), liaising with your lender, and registering you as the new owner with HM Land Registry. It's not optional — almost every UK lender insists on it.

Solicitor or licensed conveyancer — what's the difference?

Solicitors (regulated by the SRA) handle a broad mix of legal matters and can advise on complex issues — disputes, tax planning, divorce. Licensed conveyancers (regulated by the CLC) specialise in property only. For a standard purchase or sale either is fine; for anything unusual a solicitor is normally the safer choice. Our panel includes both.

How long does conveyancing take?

For a freehold purchase with no chain, 8–12 weeks is typical. Leasehold or chains can stretch to 14–18 weeks. The biggest variables are how quickly searches come back, lender turnaround on the mortgage offer, and how responsive the parties further up or down the chain are. We'll keep you posted in your dashboard.

What are searches and why do they cost so much?

Searches are the formal enquiries your conveyancer makes about the property — local authority records (planning, road schemes), water and drainage, environmental risk (flooding, contaminated land) and, for newer estates, drainage and chancel checks. Together they typically run £250–£420. They're disbursements, not fees, and your lender requires them.

What's a "fixed fee" and what isn't included?

A fixed fee is the legal work itself — exchange and completion — quoted upfront so there are no surprises. Disbursements (third-party costs like searches, Land Registry fees, ID checks, SDLT submission, lender CHAPS) are separate and pass-through. Anything unusual that crops up — defective title, bridging arrangements — would be quoted separately before any work starts.

Are your panel firms regulated?

Every firm on our panel is authorised by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC), or the Law Society of Scotland. We monitor responsiveness, communication and complaint history, and rotate firms off the panel if standards slip.
