FAQ
How long does conveyancing take?
8-12 weeks on average. Can be faster (4-6 weeks) for simple transactions or slower (16+ weeks) for complex cases.
Do I need a solicitor or conveyancer?
Either works. Solicitors can handle more complex legal issues. Licensed conveyancers specialize in property and are usually cheaper.
Can I do my own conveyancing?
Yes, but it's risky. Mortgage lenders usually require a solicitor. DIY conveyancing saves £500-£1,000 but takes 20+ hours of work.
