The precise stages involved in the purchase of a residential property vary according to the circumstances. However, below are examples of key stages that we include in our fees quoted to clients:
Factors that would typically increase the cost of our service are, for example, if the legal title is defective or part of the property is unregistered, if we discover building regulations or planning permission has not been obtained, and if crucial documents we have previously requested from you have not been provided.
Stamp Duty or Land Tax (on purchase) — This depends on the purchase price of your property. You can calculate the amount you will need to pay by using HMRC's website (https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/calculate-stamp-duty-land-tax/#/intro) or if the property is located in Wales by using the Welsh Revenue Authority's website (https://beta.gov.wales/land-transaction-tax-calculator).
How long it will take from your offer being accepted until you can move in to your house will depend on a number of factors. The average process takes between 4-6 months.
It can be quicker or slower, depending on the parties in the chain. For example, if you are a first-time buyer, purchasing a new build property with a mortgage in principle, it could take 4-16 weeks. However, if you are buying a leasehold property that requires an extension of the lease, this can take significantly longer, between 6-8 months.
