How long does conveyancing 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.

For more information about timescales, please call our New Business Team on 01473 229888.

A conveyancing solicitor will do conveyancing work which is the legal term for transferring property ownership.

How much do you charge for conveyancing in London?

Our conveyancing fees vary based on several factors including the transaction’s complexity and property value. We offer competitive, transparent pricing with no hidden charges. Please see our conveyancing fees guide for more information.

What is checked during conveyancing?

A conveyancing solicitor checks several things during the conveyancing process:

  • Title checks
  • Property searches
  • Land registry checks
  • Reviewing contracts
  • Reviewing finances
  • ID checks

Is conveyancing quicker on a new build house?

Conveyancing on a new build home is typically quicker than on an older property that has been owned previously as whilst there are more checks, there’s no chain which can result in potential delays.
