Yes you can do your own conveyancing. But the conveyancing process is time-consuming and complex and you shouldn’t consider DIY conveyancing if you don’t fully understand all the steps and the risks involved.
However, if you’re buying or selling with a mortgage, the lender will almost certainly insist that you instruct a conveyancer. Read more in our guide Can you do your own conveyancing.
A draft contract will be given to the buyer’s solicitor once an offer is accepted on a property. This draft contract must include details including things like price, boundaries and planning restrictions.
Go through this carefully and negotiate any terms if necessary. Your conveyancing solicitor will help with this. Find out more in our guide Conveyancing process explained for buyers.
A property survey is an inspection of a property’s condition conducted by experts. The experts – surveyors – inspect the property and tell you if there are any issues to do with the condition of the property from minor to significant structural problems.
The level of detail the property survey cost into and the cost depend on which type of house survey you choose to get. Find out more in our guide on House survey types and costs.
When you exchange contracts, the deal becomes legally binding. Until you exchange contracts as part of the conveyancing process, neither side has any legal obligation to buy or sell the property, and both can pull out without any penalty.
Between exchange of contracts and completion, either side will almost certainly pay major penalties if they pull out. Find out more in our guide Exchange of contracts explained.
Completion day typically happens a week after exchange on average but it varies; how long between exchange and completion can be any time agreed between all parties in the chain. In some cases it can be done on the same day.
Conveyancing fees cover the amount you’ll pay to make sure the legal side of buying or selling a house is handled correctly. When comparing conveyancing quotes, conveyancing or Solicitor fees can be split into two parts:
1. The legal fees: This is what the conveyancer or solicitor charges for doing the work
2. The disbursements: This is what third parties charge for certain services like searches.
It’s important to shop around to get the best value conveyancing quotes.

With fixed fee conveyancing you’ll pay a fixed price you are quoted at the outset. However ‘fixed’ conveyancing quotes usually relate to the legal services provided not disbursements. Disbursements should be included in conveyancing quotes but for example if more searches are required this cost will increase.
