Frequently asked questions about conveyancing services

Conveyancing is the name given to the legal and administrative process of transferring property ownership from one owner to another.

Buying or selling a home involves a complicated legal process that must be followed properly to ensure your home purchase or sale is legally valid. For that reason, enlisting the expertise of a conveyancer or specialist property solicitor, such as those at Thompsons Solicitors’ wholly-owned subsidiary, BBH Legal Services, is highly recommended. You can reach them on 0800 051 4218.

The cost of conveyancing services ranges from £500 to £2,500, depending on the level of support you need, the value of your property, and whether you are part of a chain or buying your first home.

For a personalised quote, contact BBH’s conveyancing solicitors. Rest assured that using your union conveyancing service often offers savings on what you would be charged on the high street.

Whether or not conveyancing is a time consuming process depends on your particular circumstances, including who is involved in your house sale and whether either the buyer or seller has another property to sell before they can proceed.

BBH Legal Services Ltd understands how stressful buying and selling a home can be and will always strive to ensure your sale proceeds as quickly as possible.

When you exchange contracts, the house sale becomes legally binding and it is rare from that moment for house sales to collapse because there would be financial implications for one or other of the parties if it did.

If you are buying a house, the contract exchange will take place between you and the seller (and you and the person buying your old property, if you have one). Usually, the conveyancing solicitors representing each party call each other to make sure the contracts are aligned before transferring your deposit to your seller’s solicitor.

Unfortunately, there is no set time scale for exchanging contracts on a house – it can take a day or several weeks to complete. BBH’s team will always move quickly to ensure the whole thing is as quick and as stress-free for you as possible.
