In the UK, property is sold on the principle of caveat emptor, which translates as buyer beware. This means that you, the buyer, are ultimately responsible for checking the quality for the property you’re looking to buy.
Once you’ve found the property you want to buy, and have agreed a price through the estate agent, certain procedures have to be followed before the legal ownership of the property can be transferred. Searches have to be carried out to make sure that the property you’re buying is in good order and contracts have to be drafted and reviewed.
Your conveyancing solicitor will make sure that these procedures are properly followed and will not only look after your interests, but the interests of any mortgage lender involved too.
To find out more about how we can help you with buying property give us a call on 0330 123 0068 or fill in our contact form and we will call you back.
You just pay a fixed fee for our conveyancing services, which is based on the value of the property being purchased. We promise to always discuss the fee with you at the outset of your case, as well as sending you the list of terms and conditions, so that we’re completely transparent at every step.
As well as our fixed fee, and in line with normal conveyancing practice, we require a first payment to keep on account to cover the cost of any initial searches. If the matter doesn’t get to completion then we will refund any money held on account that hasn’t already been used for searches.
Our Conveyancing Fees Calculator can provide an instant quote for the costs involved with buying, selling or remortgaging a property up to the value of £500,000. It will calculate our legal fees and estimate the Land Registry Fees and Search Fees for your transaction.

Every transaction is different and each can take a different amount of time. The average time period is between 6-12 weeks depending on the speed of searches and mortgage offers, the other parties in the chain, the complexity of the transaction and more.
