Why you should not Choose a Cheap Conveyancer?


It’s tempting to save money on conveyancing, but going for a cheap option can end up costing you much more in the long run. Cheap conveyancers often take on too many cases, which can delay your transaction and lead to costly mistakes. A fast, efficient conveyancer is worth the investment to avoid delays and risks associated with slow transactions such as fall through.

How Long Does Conveyancing Take?

Conveyancing usually takes between 8 to 12 weeks, depending on several factors, such as the complexity of the transaction and how quickly your conveyancer works. Delays are often caused by legal or administrative issues, so choosing an efficient conveyancer with a track record of resolving problems quickly is crucial.

How Fast Can We Complete Your Conveyancing?

We will always do our utmost to complete your conveyance in accordance with your preferred timescales.  The fastest we can complete is a couple of days although this of course very much depends on the circumstances.   This timeframe can be influenced by the complexity of the case and the responsiveness of all parties involved. Working with a proactive conveyancer and utilising fast search providers, like Property Search North East, can significantly expedite the process.

At Peter Maughan Law, we prioritise efficiency without compromising on quality. Our dedicated team and advanced tools ensure that your conveyancing is handled promptly, keeping you informed every step of the way.

What is the average time frame for flat conveyancing?

Leasehold properties, such as flats, usually take longer to convey, often taking up to two months longer. This is due to the involvement of more entities, such as landlords and management agents, in addition to other concerns like ground rent or service charges. A skilled conveyancer can help manage these challenges more efficiently.

What Takes the Longest in Conveyancing?


Searches and legal checks often cause the longest delays in conveyancing, as they rely on external organisations like local authorities. To avoid delays, it’s important to use a conveyancer who is efficient and works with fast search providers to keep the process moving smoothly.

How Long Do Conveyancing Searches Take?

Searches usually take between 2 and 5 weeks to complete, depending on the property’s location and the type of search required. Choosing a conveyancer who uses a quick and reliable search provider, like Property Search North East, can reduce wait times significantly.

How Long After Searches Until Exchange?


After searches are completed, it usually takes 2 to 4 weeks to reach the point of exchange of contracts, depending on how fast any issues are resolved and how quickly all parties communicate.

How Long Between Exchange and Completion?


Nowadays exchange and completion often happen simultaneously on the day of completion.  if clients prefer, there can be days, weeks or months between exchange and completion.

Wills FAQ's

Why is it important to make a Will?


Making a Will ensures that your wishes are followed after you pass away. Without a Will, the law decides how your estate is distributed, which may not align with your personal preferences. At Peter Maughan, we help you create a clear and legally sound Will, so your loved ones are taken care of.

Can I update my Will if my circumstances change?

Yes, you can update your Will at any time. Major life events, such as getting married, having children, or buying a home, are good reasons to review your Will. 

Powers of Attorney FAQ's

What is a Lasting Power of Attorney, and why should I have one?


A Power of Attorney allows someone you trust to make decisions on your behalf if you become unable to do so. This could be for financial, legal, or healthcare matters. Having one in place ensures that your interests are protected, and Peter Maughan can guide you through the process of setting it up easily.

What types of Lasting Power of Attorney are available?

There are two main types: a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for financial decisions and one for health and welfare decisions. Peter Maughan can help you decide which one (or both) is right for you, ensuring that your preferences are upheld by our trusted and efficient approach.
