Conveyancing is one of the most important, and often underestimated, parts of buying or selling a home. It’s the legal process that transfers property ownership from one person to another. And while it’s absolutely necessary, it can also be the cause of unexpected delays, stress, and uncertainty.
At PLS Solicitors, we specialise in fast, transparent, and reliable conveyancing services for buyers, sellers, and developers across the UK. With thousands of transactions completed every year, we know exactly what keeps the process moving, and what causes it to stall.
Here’s how to keep your conveyancing on track and make your move smoother from start to finish.
Tips for Sellers
If you’re selling your home, a few smart moves up front can speed up the entire transaction:
1. Prepare Your Documents Early
Get your paperwork in order before accepting an offer. This includes your title deeds, fixtures and fittings list, warranties, and any certificates related to the property.
2. Be Transparent
If there are any issues with the property, such as neighbour disputes, structural changes, or building regulation concerns, tell your conveyancer right away. Hiding issues only causes delays later.
3. Respond Quickly
Your solicitor and the buyer’s team will ask for documents, forms, or clarifications. Fast, accurate responses help keep everything progressing on schedule.
4. Allow Access for Surveys
Make sure your property is accessible for surveys and inspections. Delays in access can slow down the buyer’s mortgage process.
Tips for Buyers
Buying a home? Here’s how to stay ahead of the curve and avoid common slowdowns:
1. Get Your Mortgage in Place Early
Secure your mortgage agreement in principle before house hunting. It shows sellers you’re serious and allows conveyancing to begin quickly.
2. Be Responsive
Conveyancers often need ID, proof of funds, and signed documents from you. Respond promptly to avoid losing days or weeks to admin.
3. Arrange Surveys and Searches Early
Book your property survey as soon as your offer is accepted. Also, allow your conveyancer to begin local authority and environmental searches without delay.
4. Be Clear on Timings
Share your preferred moving dates, deadlines, or time constraints with your conveyancer. This helps them prioritise and manage the transaction effectively.
