The conveyancing process when buying a house in Broadstone / Poole typically involves the following stages:

1. Offer accepted and solicitor instructed
   Once your offer is accepted, a conveyancing solicitor is instructed to act on your behalf and confirm the legal work required.
2. Contract pack review
   The seller’s solicitor sends the contract pack, including title deeds, property information forms and searches. Your solicitor reviews these in detail.
3. Property searches and enquiries
   Local authority, drainage, environmental and other searches are carried out. Any issues identified are raised with the seller’s solicitor.
4. Mortgage offer
   If you are using a mortgage, your lender issues a formal offer which your solicitor checks against the property details.
5. Exchange of contracts
   Once all enquiries are satisfied, contracts are signed and exchanged. At this point, the purchase becomes legally binding.
