How it works
Buying a property can be daunting, especially when you are unsure about the process. At Optimal Solicitors we keep things moving as quickly and efficiently as possible, while making sure that you always know what’s happening.
- We start the processes by reviewing the contract paperwork
- We then ask the seller’s solicitor any initial questions you might have about the property and the sale
- We will thoroughly investigate the legal title and submit conveyancing searches to the local authority, water authority, and environmental agency
- At the same time, we will carry out any other necessary searches depending on the location of the property
- Once we have the results of these searches, we will report the findings to you, and work with you and the seller’s solicitor to resolve any issues
- Once your mortgage offer has come through we can advise you on this and explain the terms to you. We will then ask you to sign the mortgage deed
- We will draft a Transfer Deed which transfers ownership of the property from the seller to you
- We agree on a moving date with the seller’s solicitor (making sure this is convenient for you)
- We exchange contracts with the seller’s solicitor
- We will request mortgage funds from your lender
- On the completion date, we transfer the funds for the purchase of the property to the seller’s solicitors and ensure the property is signed over to you
- We arrange for the keys to be released to you (this usually happens about lunchtime)
- We continue to work for you to deal with the post-completion aspects of the transaction including sending the Transfer Deed to the land registry and paying stamp duty on your behalf.

FAQs
Solicitors’ fees are generally a fixed cost based on the value of the property. Our handy conveyancing calculator can be used to build an estimated quote. Additional costs, such as those related to legal searches or if there are any unexpected complications, may potentially increase this amount.
At Optimal Solicitors, we confirm our costs in our free initial consultation. We aim to make conveyancing advice as affordable and transparent as possible.

Having your documents in order will get us off to a great start. This will include proof of identity (like a passport or driving licence), proof of address, a copy of the mortgage offer, and evidence of any other funds you’ll use to buy the property.
The ‘exchanging’ part of buying a house is when you’ve swapped contracts with the seller – this makes the purchase legally binding. ‘Completing’ is the final stage – when you and the seller physically move, and the legal ownership of the property has been transferred over to you.
The average time to completion is 6-12 weeks. However, this largely depends on how long the searches take, how many parties are in the chain and how complex that chain is, as well as any complications around the process itself.
