- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.
- Responding to enquiries – your solicitor responds to any questions the buyer's solicitor may have (this is where you'll find out if you are missing documents, which can cause delays to your sale).

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

Conveyancing FAQs: Property Lawyers Earley
Berkshire is a county which touches a small part of the borders of West London. It is a home county (because it borders Greater London) and is often called Royal Berkshire because it contains Windsor and Windsor Castle. It hosts a number of iconic UK landmarks, such as Ascot (Ascot Racecourse), Wentworth (Golf Course), Sunningdale (Golf Course), Virginia Water, Windsor Great Park and Eton School. Virginia Water was the first postcode area where the average property price exceeded one million.
Like many of the home counties, there are many essentially commuter dormitory settlements which house London workers. Reading (which is Berkshire's county town), in particular, is a larger one and is popular because of its very fast rail links to Central London - there are many one-stop services to London Paddington and it is also due to be the western terminus of the Crossrail line.

Do you need to get chancel repair liability insurance?
If you're buying a property using a mortgage, your lender invariably expects you to take out chancel repair liability insurance or to buy a search which reveals whether there is a chancel liability for your property.
Both the insurance and the search mentioned perform the same task: protecting you from having a liability to contribute towards the repair of the local church roof.
This is likely to strike people previously unaware of this. A very odd but well-publicised case in recent years involved a home buyer receiving a demand for almost £100,000. The purchaser contested the sum and ended up being billed for £350,000 when legal costs were added.
The chance of this happening has resulted in mortgage lenders insisting that purchasers take action to ward off chancel repair claims. It is also a good reason for cash buyers to consider taking protective action.
