Demystifying the Legal Maze
A step-by-step look at the conveyancing journey.
The period between having an offer accepted and getting your keys—the conveyancing stage—is often cited as the most stressful part of moving. On average, this takes 8 to 12 weeks, but delays are common if the chain isn't managed correctly.
The process involves three critical "blocks":
- The Instruction: Your solicitor reviews the draft contract and protocol forms.
- The Search Phase: Essential checks on local authority plans, water drainage, and environmental risks.
- The Exchange & Completion: The moment the deal becomes legally binding.
By using an SRA or CLC regulated solicitor from the Abode One framework, you ensure you are working with professionals who prioritise communication, helping to prevent the "black hole" of information that often causes stress in a property chain.
