What is conveyancing?

English Version

Conveyancing is the process of preparing legal documents for a property sale, remortgage or lease extension, and transferring legal ownership if the property is being sold.

If you're buying or selling a home, you'll need a conveyancer or property solicitor to deal with the Land Registry, draw up contracts and transfer the cash. They will also make sure the legal ownership of the property passes from the seller to the buyer.

In this guide, we explain what the conveyancing process involves and how to find the best solicitor or conveyancer for you.

Conveyancing process, step-by-step:

While every house purchase and sale is different, it will generally work like this:

Before exchange

  1. You choose ('instruct') a solicitor or conveyancer to act on your behalf - ideally before step 2, although you can also hire a solicitor after making an offer if you haven't already done so.
  2. You make an offer on a property and the seller accepts.
  3. Your conveyancer or solicitor (we will use the terms interchangeably in this guide) carries out all the relevant searches on the property and writes to the seller's solicitor requesting a draft contract and the other selling documents.
  4. During this time, you organise a house survey and buildings insurance.

Exchange of contracts

  1. You and the seller both sign copies of the contract. You also agree to a completion date.
  2. Contracts are exchanged. At this point, the sale is legally binding and you must have buildings insurance in place.
  3. You pay an exchange deposit to the seller.
  4. After exchange, your conveyancer lodges an interest with the Land Registry.

Completion

  1. Your conveyancer receives mortgage funds from your lender, often the day before completion. On completion day, your conveyancer transfers all outstanding money to the seller's solicitor.
  2. Once the seller's solicitor confirms the money has been received, the property is yours.

After the sale

  1. The conveyancer registers the transfer of property with the Land Registry.
  2. You have 30 days to pay your stamp duty bill, if you owe it. Your solicitor will usually arrange this for you.

Conveyancing fees

Conveyancing fees depending on the cost and location of the property.

If you're buying and selling at the same time, your conveyancing fees will be higher, as your conveyancer will need to do the work for both transactions.

The cost will also depend on how complex the property transaction is. For example, if the property is a leasehold, there may be more legal work to do, such as reviewing the lease itself.

Some solicitors will charge a flat fee, while others will charge a percentage of the property's value. Always check exactly what the fee covers and whether it's fixed - some companies will charge extra if any unforeseen issues arise. Get a few different quotes before choosing who to use.
