If you’ve never bought or sold a property before, the whole idea of conveyancing can be a confusing process. Finding the right property or accepting an offer on your property can be the easy part. What comes next is all that paperwork.

Even if you’re experienced in buying or selling properties, conveyancing can be a time-consuming and costly process. Although there’s no law stating you must employ a conveyancing specialist, one mistake and you can lose your deposit, or—for the vendor—a potential sale.

Here at Conveyonline, our team of experienced conveyancers will guide you through the whole process for one fixed-fee quote. From making or accepting an offer, you never have to leave your home, with our legal experts closely managing the whole process.

What Is the Conveyancing Process?

Conveyancing is an important part of the property exchange for both the vendor and purchaser alike. The conveyancing process is what legally transfers the ownership of a legal land title to a new owner, be it individual persons or entities.

Transferring a property to a new owner can be a lengthy process, which conveyancing generally breaks down into three stages:

1. 1. Pre-contract
2. 2. Contract to completion
3. 3. Settlement or post completion.

A conveyancer will typically do everything which is necessary to ensure you’re prepared for all the critical stages of the process. Basically, your conveyancer makes sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed on all legal contracts.
