What is residential conveyancing?

The legal industry can be full of unfamiliar terms, which can make an already complex process feel even more daunting, especially if it’s your first time navigating property transactions. But we’re here to keep things simple.

Residential conveyancing is the legal process of buying and selling residential property, including transferring the title from one owner to another. While it might sound straightforward, property transactions often involve many legal complexities. That’s why having a specialist local property lawyer makes all the difference.

The Valerie Holmes Law team is committed to providing high-quality conveyancing services to Brighouse, the surrounding areas, and beyond.

The services we offer

We’re passionate about delivering outstanding service and customer care. While our local knowledge is second to none, we also offer our expertise to clients further afield, helping those seeking residential conveyancing services outside of the Brighouse area.

We can assist with:

How much does residential conveyancing cost?

The cost of residential conveyancing varies depending on the property and the complexity of the transaction. Factors such as the property’s value and the type of legal work involved will influence the total fee. Generally, higher-value properties may incur higher conveyancing costs. There may also be additional fees depending on the services required.

At Valerie Holmes Law, we ensure our clients are clear on pricing. That’s why we’ve created a fee table on our Fees page to give you an idea of what to expect.

How long does residential conveyancing take?

Just like costs, the time required for residential conveyancing depends on several factors. Whether or not the property is part of a chain, and the responsiveness of all parties (buyer, seller, solicitor, and mortgage lender) can all affect the timeline.

Generally, the national average for property transactions is between 14 and 20 weeks. Some transactions may take less or more time depending on individual circumstances. At Valerie Holmes Law, we aim to complete every transaction as efficiently as possible while maintaining thorough legal work.
