- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged

Should I use a Licensed Conveyancer or Conveyancing Solicitor near me?
Solicitors are usually more expensive than a conveyancer, which is fine as long as they specialise in property transactions. It can be beneficial to choose a property lawyer in case of any specialist legal complications with your property transaction, but the best-of-both approach is to instruct a licensed conveyancing solicitor who employs some other conveyancing professionals to complete the simpler parts of the work under their supervision, at a lower rate.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Horley Conveyancing Solicitor fees vary between online conveyancing solicitors, high street conveyancers or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed, including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
Make sure to budget for all of the above conveyancing costs and to get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from several firms, to compare value.
Making the right choice of solicitor is key to the whole process:
- Cheap Conveyancing
- Fast Conveyancing
- Best Conveyancing Service
Can you exchange contracts as soon as you have an offer accepted?
If your vendor is willing to do so as well, technically you can exchange contracts on the day you have your offer accepted as a buyer; this is often termed an attended exchange of contracts, but you should be extremely wary of doing so.
This option is invariably only open to cash buyers; mortgage lenders expect the process to take longer so that safeguards such as property searches can be returned and that there is a reasonable time period for the buyer's solicitor to make enquiries and for the answers to be returned.
An attended exchange of contracts:
- is more expensive than for standard conveyancing;
- puts more pressure on the solicitors from both sides to 'get it right' in a reduced period of time, and
- makes it a huge challenge to carry out the normal checks on a property being sold.
The advantages are clearly that, assuming all goes well, both sides will complete a property transaction in a far shorter time scale than normal, so the buyer gets their property and the seller gets the requisite funds. This is not an option to be taken lightly for the reasons stated.
