How long does conveyancing take?

A straightforward freehold sale or purchase typically takes eight to twelve weeks from instruction to completion. Leasehold, chains and mortgage delays can extend that.

What are disbursements?

Costs your conveyancer pays out on your behalf — searches, Land Registry fees, bankruptcy and priority searches, and Stamp Duty Land Tax or Land Transaction Tax where it applies.

Do I pay anything up front?

Most firms ask for money on account to cover searches early in the process. The balance of the legal fee is settled on completion.

The legal fee is fixed for the work described in your quote. If the transaction changes — for example a leasehold turns out to be more complex — you are told before any extra cost is incurred.

Can I use my own solicitor?

Of course. Our quote simply gives you a benchmark and a firm that is already set up to work with your lender.

What Cwmbran property owners should know

Two Cwmbran-specific points come up repeatedly. First, a large amount of former council stock was bought under Right to Buy, and the pre-emption and repayment conditions need checking on any resale within the relevant period. Second, the town's planned layout means shared driveways, service strips and unadopted rear lanes are common, and the title needs to actually grant the access everyone assumes exists.

We also cover Pontypool, Croesyceiliog, Llanyrafon, Henllys and the surrounding South Wales area, across NP44.
