How Long Does Conveyancing Take? Timelines & Delays

We handle residential conveyancing transactions on a daily basis, including freehold, leasehold and new-build properties across the Fylde Coast.

One of the most common questions asked by buyers and sellers is how long conveyancing takes. In England and Wales, most transactions complete within eight to twelve weeks, although this can vary significantly depending on circumstances.

The biggest cause of delay is the property chain. If one buyer or seller in the chain is waiting for a mortgage offer, search results, or replies to enquiries, this can affect every linked transaction. Leasehold properties, new builds, and complex titles can also take longer.

A proactive conveyancer plays a key role in keeping matters moving. This includes raising enquiries promptly, chasing outstanding documents, and addressing issues as soon as they arise rather than allowing files to sit unanswered.

While no solicitor can guarantee a completion date at the outset, early instruction, clear communication, and prompt responses from all parties can reduce avoidable delays.

At MJV Solicitors, the focus is on starting files quickly, maintaining momentum, and keeping clients informed throughout the process so there are no unnecessary surprises.
