Conveyancing Posted 24 March 2025

Buying a house can be an extremely stressful process. It is often seen as one of the most stressful things a person can do, alongside marriage and death. Here at Burgh Thorpe Solicitors, we know how stressful the house buying process can be. This is why we want to work with you, to make it as stress-free as possible. So, in this blog post our conveyancers have put together some conveyancing tips to help house buyers like you.

Our first conveyancing tip for house buyers is to do your research to find the right conveyancer. You want someone with experience that you can trust. Look at reviews online to see how they have helped other house buyers. If you like what you read in the reviews, then choose that conveyancer to work with on your new home.

Think like a scout and ‘Be Prepared’. The more prepared you are the less stress you will feel. Our conveyancers in Peterborough will let you know the paperwork and ID you need. By having it prepared ahead of time it will make your life easier and the house buying process a lot less stressful.

It will feel like the conveyancing process is taking ages but try and stay patient. There is a lot going on behind closed doors. Our conveyancing solicitors in Peterborough will keep you updated every step of the way. However, there will be days when there is no news at all. Try and stay calm as this will make the experience a lot less stressful for you.

There will be extra fees for searches and similar services that your conveyancing lawyer will make you aware of. Wherever possible, try and stay on top of these. Have your finances in order for those extra house purchasing costs that will arise. Your conveyancer will let you know the fees to expect and when they will be due. Note this down somewhere to ensure the process runs as smoothly as possible.

These are just some of our conveyancing tips for house buyers. However, if there is ever anything that you don’t understand, please just ask. Our conveyancers in Peterborough are here to help you. Buying a house should be an exciting time. We are here to support you in making buying your home a happy experience with minimal stress or worry.
