Conveyancing FAQs

What is the difference between exchange and completion?

Exchange refers to the exchanging of contracts. Both conveyancers will read out the contract over the telephone to ensure they are identical and then send them to each other. Once exchanged, the contract is legally binding. Completion refers to the date the big move can take place. It is usually set for midday. When the seller's conveyancer confirms that all monies due have been received, the seller will drop off the keys at the estate agent for the buyer to collect.

When can I sign the contract?

Once all property searches have been returned and any surveys have been carried out, enquiries can be raised. The other party will need to satisfy each of these and check the property's fixtures and fittings are as expected. Once all enquiries are resolved and the seller has provided the required paperwork, a completion date will be arranged and the contract can be signed.

Property Searches are an important part of the buying process. They contain essential information about the property to protect the buyer from any nasty surprises.

Depending on the location and conditions of the property being purchased, further searches may also be requested by your conveyancer.
