Is conveyancing required for buying or selling a bit of my garden?

How long does conveyancing of land take?
According to a recent article published by Rightmove conveyancing in 2022 is taking 150 days. This is from when a property is sold subject to contract up until the point of moving home. This is 66 days longer than in 2019 when it took 8-12 weeks, but this timeframe is still quoted by most solicitors today.
However, our conveyancing median in 2022 is 126 days from the day you instruct us to the day you move home. As a result, by instructing Attwells you could move home faster.
The conveyancing of land is generally far faster than the conveyancing of a property and a timescale of 4-6 weeks should be achievable in most cases.

What can I do with the land once purchased?
As buying land from your neighbour gives you ownership of that parcel of land you can within reason do what you like with the land. Although you will need to ensure you are complying with any conditions in the land transfer documents and comply with planning regulations. Planning permission may be required if you plan to build a property, outbuilding or extension on the land.
