FAQs

  • At the commencement of your transaction we request an on account sum of £600.00 to cover any initial third-party expenses.

  • Conveyancing transactions typically take around 16 to 21 weeks to complete. However, the duration can vary depending on the intricacy of the chain involved.

  • Should your transaction not proceed to completion, you won't be charged the full legal fees.

  • Freehold means you own both the property and the land it's on. In contrast, leasehold means you own the property for a specified number of years, decades, or even centuries, but not the land. In the case of leasehold, the land remains the property of the freeholder. Additionally, leaseholders might be obligated to pay service charges and ground rent.

  • You should consider extending your lease before it falls below 80 years. Once the lease term dips beneath this threshold, the cost of the premium to extend can increase significantly due to the 'marriage value'. Having a shorter lease can also make the property less attractive to potential buyers or mortgage lenders. Addressing the lease term before it reaches this critical point is both financially prudent and beneficial for the property's marketability.

  • SDLT is a tax on the purchase of properties and lands in England and Northern Ireland. Whether you need to pay, and how much, depends on the purchase price and your circumstances, such as if you're a first-time buyer.

  • LTT replaced the UK's Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) in Wales from April 2018. It's a tax on land and property purchases based on transaction value, with specific rate thresholds and exemptions. Buyers must submit a LTT return and pay the tax to the Welsh Revenue Authority within 30 days of completion.

  • While it's possible to exchange and complete on the same day, it can be risky. Normally, there's a gap to allow for preparations for the move.

  • We have partnered with another firm to offer this service as it does go hand in hand with residential conveyancing. If you do have any enfranchisement queries or needs please reach out to us and we will be more than happy to introduce you to someone with the requisite expertise to assist you.
