Expert House Purchase Solicitors Helping You Move With Confidence

 

When you’re ready to buy your first or next home, there’s a lot of excitement about starting a new chapter. But that can quickly turn to stress when the paperwork starts. You need expert house purchase solicitors who keep you updated at every step, are always on hand to answer questions, and guide you through the process simply, without the legal jargon. That’s where we come in.

Stay Informed From Offer Accepted To Moving Day

Buying a house is a great achievement that shouldn’t have to come with unnecessary stress. You might be worried about delays and being left in the dark, but your experience doesn’t have to be that way. When you’re making one of the biggest financial commitments of your life, you need support, not silence.

You deserve clear communication and a property conveyancer who is available to answer your questions and provide updates throughout the transaction. With our dedicated portal, you’re in control and have full visibility of transaction progress along with a clear conveyancing process timeline. It’s conveyancing made simple for what buyers today actually need.

Get The Support You Need When You Need It 

It’s normal to have questions. Buying a house isn’t something you do every day, and if you’re a first-time buyer, it feels even more overwhelming. When should you instruct a conveyancer? What happens after your offer is accepted? Is there help for first-time buyers? How long will everything take?

As your conveyancers, we’re here to help you through the process step-by-step, without overcomplicating it. You’ll be kept aware of key milestones, what documents are needed when, and a timeline that sets your expectations for when the property officially becomes yours. With a clear understanding and the support of your solicitor, you can approach your house purchase with confidence.

What Your Conveyancing Process Looks Like

As a first-time buyer, you may not know what to expect when you instruct your conveyancer to purchase a property. With LPL as your solicitor for buying a house, your transaction can move smoothly through the following stages to get you into your new home as efficiently as possible.

Get Started

Your dedicated conveyancer opens your case, carries out identity and verification checks, and gets everything set up. We’ll provide regular updates from the start, so you can see the progress being made.

We Carry Out The Legal Checks

We’ll review the legal documents, order searches, and investigate any issues that could affect the property. If questions arise, we’ll work with the seller’s solicitor to get the answers you need.

Your Mortgage Offer Arrives

Once your lender issues your formal mortgage offer, we’ll review the details and ensure everything is in place to move forward with your purchase.

We Prepare You For Exchange

When all legal checks are complete and any outstanding enquiries have been resolved, we’ll provide a clear report explaining everything you need to know before signing your contract.

Exchange Contracts

Once contracts are exchanged, your purchase becomes legally binding, and a completion date is agreed.

Completion Day

The purchase funds are transferred, the keys are released, and you can move into your new home.

We Take Care Of The Final Details

After completion, we’ll submit any required Stamp Duty paperwork and register your ownership with the Land Registry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I instruct a conveyancer before my offer is accepted?

Yes, many buyers choose to obtain a quote and instruct a conveyancer before finding a property. This can help speed up the process once an offer is accepted, as identity checks and onboarding can often be completed in advance.

How long does house purchase conveyancing take?

Every property transaction is different, but most purchases take between 12 and 16 weeks from instruction to completion. Timescales can vary depending on factors such as search turnaround times, mortgage approvals, property chains and how quickly enquiries are resolved.

What searches are carried out when buying a property?

Your conveyancer will usually order a range of searches, including local authority, environmental, water and drainage searches. These help identify issues that could affect the property, such as planning restrictions, flood risks or access to public services.

Do I need a survey as well as conveyancing?

Conveyancing and surveys serve different purposes. While conveyancing deals with the legal aspects of the purchase, a survey assesses the physical condition of the property. Many buyers choose to arrange a survey for additional peace of mind before proceeding.

What happens when contracts are exchanged?

Exchange of contracts is the point at which the purchase becomes legally binding. Once contracts have been exchanged, a completion date is agreed and both parties are committed to the transaction.
