Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about property law and conveyancing.

How long does the conveyancing process take?

A typical freehold property transaction takes 8-12 weeks from offer acceptance to completion. Leasehold properties can take longer due to additional enquiries. We work to your timeline where possible.

What are the costs involved in buying a property?

Costs include our legal fee (fixed fee), disbursements such as search fees, Land Registry fees, Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), and any bank transfer fees. We provide a full breakdown before you instruct us.

What is the difference between freehold and leasehold?

Freehold means you own the property and the land it stands on indefinitely. Leasehold means you own the property for a fixed period (the lease term) but not the land. Most flats are leasehold; houses are usually freehold.

Do I need a solicitor to buy or sell a property?

While not strictly required, using a solicitor or licensed conveyancer is strongly recommended. They handle complex legal work, protect your interests, and ensure the transaction complies with all legal requirements.

What is Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and when do I pay it?

SDLT is a tax paid by the buyer on property purchases over certain thresholds in England and Northern Ireland. Rates depend on the property price, whether you're a first-time buyer, and if you own other properties. We handle SDLT returns on your behalf.
