Buying a Home?

Moving Home Hub

Welcome to the Max Engel Moving Home Hub: clear, practical guidance for buying, selling, buying your first home or remortgaging.

Buying a house involves a number of important legal and financial steps, and having an experienced conveyancing solicitor on your side can help your property purchase progress as smoothly as possible.

Our conveyancing solicitors in Northampton assist clients with the legal process of buying a home, from the moment an offer is accepted through to exchange of contracts and completion. This can include reviewing the contract and property title, carrying out conveyancing searches, raising enquiries with the seller’s solicitor, liaising with your mortgage lender and arranging the transfer of funds for completion.

If you’re wondering how long conveyancing takes when buying a house, what happens after an offer is accepted or what your solicitor actually does during a property purchase, our Buying a Home Hub is here to help.

Explore our home buying and conveyancing guides below for straightforward information about the house buying process, property searches, exchange, completion and common issues that can delay a property purchase.
