The conveyancing process may seem confusing and overwhelming. However, it is a legal process and needs to be completed for the sale or purchase of a home. Our friendly conveyancers in Peterborough are here to help you. You can always drop us a line with any questions you might have during the process of buying or selling your home.

It is important to note that the conveyancing process will take time. We have all the conveyancing services in place to support the process, but you need to be prepared to be patient. The conveyancing will take between 8 and 12 weeks in most cases. This is due to factors outside of our control. Things like property chains, mortgage approvals and local searches for example. We will keep you updated throughout the process.

Property searches are an important part of our conveyancing services for moving home. This is because they uncover potential issues that could affect the property now or in the future. For example, local authority searches will uncover any planning restrictions or road schemes for example. The environmental searches will uncover and flood risks or contamination concerns.  The water and drainage services will uncover any public sewer or water supply issues you need to be aware of.

The exchange of contracts, or contract exchange, is a key milestone. Until this point either party can pull out of the sale / purchase without any legal consequences. It is only once the contracts have been exchanges that the sale of the house becomes legally binding. After this point backing out could result in financial penalties.
