The safety of a fixed legal fee conveyancing quote
The conveyancing quotation you receive from us is provided on a fixed legal fee basis. This is unlike some conveyancers who charge an hourly rate for their legal work, which can make it difficult to estimate how much your conveyancing services will cost. Note, this does not mean there is no possibility of extra non-legal costs. Neither we, nor conveyancing firm could promise that.
Our conveyancing panel cover all major lenders
All our conveyancers are regulated by the SRA or CLC, and collectively support all major lenders.

The sale conveyancing process in the UK is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from the seller to the buyer. It typically involves several stages, including:
- Instructing a conveyancer: The seller appoints a qualified conveyancer, who will handle the legal aspects of the transaction on their behalf.
- Preparation of the contract pack: The conveyancer will prepare all the necessary documents for the sale, including the property title, leasehold documents, and any other relevant information such as planning permission and building regulation compliance.
- Marketing the property: The property is put up for sale and marketed to potential buyers. Once a buyer is found, the conveyancer will send the contract pack to the buyer’s conveyancer.
- Enquiries and searches: The buyer’s conveyancer will conduct various searches and make enquiries to ensure that the property is in good condition and that there are no outstanding issues.
- Exchange of contracts: Once the buyer and seller agree on the price and terms of the sale, they will sign legally binding contracts. At this stage, the buyer usually pays a deposit.
- Completion: The final stage of the process, the buyer pays the remaining balance of the purchase price and the conveyancer will complete the transfer of ownership. The keys will be handed over to the buyer.
- Registering the property: Once completion is done, the conveyancer will register the new ownership at the Land Registry.
The whole process usually takes between 8-12 weeks, but it can take longer if there are any complications. It’s important to have the right professional help, such as a solicitor or licensed conveyancer, to ensure the process runs smoothly. Additionally, it’s important for the seller to have all the necessary documents in order and be prepared for potential issues that might arise during the process.
