Conveyancing Service Guide
To find out more about what to expect when buying a house and for the steps involved in selling a house or even when you decide to remortgage a property, our helpful Conveyancing Service Guide can be downloaded from the following link:
This document explains the type of work we will carry out on your behalf during the conveyancing process. The average conveyancing process takes between 8 – 10 weeks. It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. For example, if you are a first time buyer, with a mortgage in principle, it could take 6 weeks. However, if you are buying a leasehold property that requires specific changes to the lease such as a lease extension, amendment to the current lease or rectifying an issue with the lease itself the process can take significantly longer, between 3 – 6 months.
CQS Accredited
We are also an accredited member of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS). Being a member demonstrates that we always follow best practice and meet the highest standards of technical expertise and client service when dealing with your conveyancing matter.

It sets out the standards of competence, risk management and client service levels expected of practices.
