How long does the conveyancing process usually take?

The average timeline for house purchase conveyancing is 8 to 12 weeks, but this can vary depending on factors such as the property chain, mortgage approval, and how quickly documents are exchanged. We actively monitor progress and keep you updated so that any potential delays can be addressed quickly. This proactive approach often helps our clients complete sooner.

Are there risks if I try to do conveyancing myself?

While it is technically possible to handle your own conveyancing, it carries significant risks. Without professional guidance, you may overlook legal issues such as restrictive covenants, boundary disputes, or title defects. These can lead to costly problems after purchase, which is why most buyers choose to work with experienced property purchase solicitors.

Can you handle transactions outside Kent?

Yes. While we are based in Maidstone, we provide conveyancing services nationwide. Our systems allow us to work efficiently with clients across the UK, ensuring the same high standards whether you are buying locally or in another part of the country. This flexibility is ideal for buyers relocating or investing in properties beyond their immediate area.

Selling a property?

We were recommended to Andrew Lee & Co by a friend who had used them previously for a house purchase. We were assigned Joanne Gillard as our conveyancer for our transaction. Joanne and her support team were very professional throughout and quick to reply to queries by email and telephone when required. All costs were set out from the beginning, so we knew exactly what we were paying. All in all, an amazing company to deal with. We will definitely recommend them to anyone and would 100% use them for any conveyancing requirements in the future. A*.
