Conveyancing FAQs
Need to know more about how it works? Find your answers here.
A conveyancer is a legal representative who deals with the legal process of the transfer of property ownership.
enact are a firm of Licensed conveyancers, which means we are regulated specifically to conduct property-related transactions.
Typically, the length of time it takes for a property sale or purchase to complete is approximately 16 – 20 weeks. However, sometimes this can be longer, for example, depending on the length of chain you’re in, or if something unexpected comes up in the searches or enquiries.
Read our guide to conveyancing to understand the process from start to finish.
As part of the conveyancing service, we will order searches to find out more about the property you’re purchasing. Typically, this will help identify if there are any potential issues, such as the risk of flooding. Also, when applying for a mortgage, the mortgage lender will insist that searches have been carried out.
There are searches which apply to all properties, however, there are additional location-specific searches available, for instance, if you live in a former mining area. We will let you know as soon as we can, whether any location-specific searches apply to your transaction.
Common searches include:
- Local authority search
- Drainage search
- Environmental and flooding search
- Location-specific local searches e.g. coal mining searches or tin mining searches
More details about searches can be found on our conveyancing searches page.
When you obtain your quotes for conveyancing you should expect these to be broken down by:
- Conveyancing costs (a basic fee that covers the solicitors time and expertise for processing your transaction)
- Disbursements and other costs e.g. Land Registry fee / Land Registry searches
- Stamp Duty (if purchasing a property)
More details regarding indicative fees and disbursements can be found over on our consumer information page and our conveyancing fees page.
