Frequently Asked Questions

Property Buying FAQs

How long does it take to finalise a house purchase?
The process of finalising a house purchase, from offer acceptance to completion, typically takes 8 to 12 weeks. However, this timeline can vary significantly depending on a range of factors.

Is a house buying solicitor legally required?
Although there is no legal requirement to use a solicitor when purchasing a property, the seller’s solicitor will often refuse to proceed on the basis of you not instructing a solicitor / conveyancer due to the risks associated with corresponding directly and accepting monies without the usual checks being carried out to comply with the Money Laundering Regulations. If you are purchasing with the aid of a mortgage, your mortgage lender will require representation.

When should I instruct my solicitor?
It is best to make contact with a solicitor before making an offer on a property, especially if you are planning to purchase a property at auction. If you have not located your solicitor before finding your purchase property, you will need to provide your solicitor’s details to the seller / selling agent to progress to the next stage.

How often should I expect updates from my solicitor?
At each stage of the home buying process, your solicitor will advise you as to what you need to provide and what to expect next. If you do not hear from your solicitor, this will often be because your solicitor is waiting to receive a reply or document from a third party (such as the seller’s solicitor, the management company or the mortgage lender) to so that your transaction can progress. In order to keep you updated as much as possible during your transaction, we will blind copy (BCC) you into the emails we send to various third parties; however, we do request that you don’t make direct contact with the seller’s solicitor as this can create a conflict of interests.
