The average sale and purchase takes around ten to twelve weeks from receipt of the draft contract package. The time it takes depends on numerous factors. Firstly, is there a chain involved? If so things get delayed when any member of the chain has a hold up. Your mortgage arrangements, or those of your buyer, can also delay the process.
Conveyancing is the legal transfer of property from an owner to another. The conveyancing process, if properly carried out, ensures that the purchaser owns all the property, land and rights that have been paid for. Please find detailed below the legal stages in relation to your conveyancing in respect of selling your property.
Purchasing a house is far more complicated because the lawyer must ensure that the property you buy does not involve you in any unforeseen disputes over rights of way, boundaries, fences, restrictive covenants, road charges or other legal entanglements.

We used Chartahouse and Jay Kerley when moving house. It was in lockdown and with the stamp duty holiday. Jay was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, friendly and had our best interests at heart. He was always available when we needed any information and calmed me down when I was panicking. It was at a very difficult time and Chartahouse was very busy but did a brilliant job. I would highly recommend Chartahouse.

We're having real difficulties trying to register a first Title on our property with this practice. It took Chartahouse from 27 July to 2 September to respond to enquiries from the Land Registry and, again, they have not responded to 2 subsequent (seemingly straightforward) enquiries sent by LR on 6th September by today, October 8th. When we speak to Chartahouse about it they say they have responded; when to Land Registry they say Chartahouse haven't. About 13 weeks in since we agreed to sell this property and we haven't even reached Go. Not good, will probably lose our buyer now who has reached

I wish we'd used a different company to buy our house. 10 months after the sale of our house and we still don't have the paperwork we need to prove we own our solar panels. I asked why it was missing before we completed but was told it wasn't necessary, but it absolutely is. I've sent emails, called dozens of times, left voicemails and I just get ignored by Simon's team. It took months of me asking for the solicitor to write a simple letter stating we own the panels and they still didn't put our full names on it as they'd been asked. Have been asking for months for A LETTER. Now back to square

Every team member I spoke to was always friendly, polite and professional. As a new home owner I was very happy with all the help and advice they gave me.
I was mainly in contact with Jay; who came across as knowledgeable and approachable. He was patient with my inquiries, his responses were prompt and he gave me the confidence I needed to make informed decisions.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services.

The service I enjoyed from Chartahouse was excellent. From start to finish the whole team were thorough, proactive and communicative. At what I am sure was a very busy time in the run up to the ending of the stamp duty holiday Chartahouse I was left with the impression that my house purchase was as important to the Chartahouse team as it was to us and made the process as straightforward and stress-free as it possibly can be. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for any future property transactions or recommend them.
