Here’s a clear overview of the key steps involved in the conveyancing journey when selling a home.
Once you instruct us, we open your file and send your initial paperwork, complete ID checks, and gather key details about your property straight away. If you have a mortgage, we contact your lender early to prepare for redemption on completion.
We’ll request the title deeds and prepare a clear, accurate contract pack for the buyer’s solicitor, including property information forms, fixtures and fittings lists, and any supporting documents.
We’ll handle all enquiries from the buyer’s solicitor, contacting you only when needed, to resolve issues quickly and keep the sale on track.
Once the buyer completes their checks, both parties sign the contracts. We guide you through your commitments, agree a suitable completion date, and exchange contracts, making the agreement legally binding.
On the agreed completion date, the buyer’s solicitor transfers the funds. We redeem any outstanding mortgage, send you the balance, and once funds clear, you hand over the keys and the property transfers to the new owner.

For sellers, residential conveyancing, often referred to as conveyancing for selling a house, covers the legal work to transfer property ownership to the buyer, including preparing contracts, addressing legal enquiries, and managing the exchange process.
A conveyancer (or solicitor) for sellers ensures the correct legal paperwork is prepared, manages the sale contract, and oversees the financial aspects of the transaction.
Selling a house usually takes around 16 weeks, but it may be quicker if there is no chain involved.
Conveyancing fees for sellers generally range from £1,000 to £1,500, depending on the property and complexity of the sale.
You should appoint a conveyancer as soon as you put your property on the market to prepare all necessary documents early and streamline the process when you find a buyer. Starting your house sale conveyancing early allows documents to be prepared in advance and reduces delays once an offer is accepted.
