The search results can take up to 3 weeks.

The Conveyancer receives a copy of the Mortgage Offer, usually 3 to 5 days after the client receives their copy. They will review the offer and report to the client, to ensure they understand their mortgage obligations.

Deposit Fund Requested
When the Conveyancer is satisfied that all enquiries have been resolved, they will produce a Statement of Account and request funds from the client.
Exchange of Contracts
Once all parties in the chain are ready to proceed and deposit funds are received, a completion date is agreed and exchange of contracts can take place.
Legally Bound
At this point, the client is legally bound to purchase the property on the completion date and is immediately responsible for insuring the property.
Completion
Typically, there is at least a few days between exchange and completion. However, it can happen on the same day if necessary.
Day of Completion
On the day of completion, the Conveyancer will send all funds to the seller’s Conveyancer. Once received, usually around 2pm, their Conveyancer will contact the Estate Agents and instruct them to release the keys.
