FAQs - Conveyancing Solicitors Birmingham

How long does conveyancing take in Birmingham?

Freehold transactions typically take 8–12 weeks, while leasehold properties often take longer due to management packs and additional enquiries. Remortgages can often complete in 2–6 weeks. We’ll always give you realistic timelines from the start and keep your purchase or sale moving as quickly as possible.

Every firm uses different pricing models, and headline prices can be misleading. At Kings Solicitors, we provide a fixed-fee quote, with all legal fees and disbursements clearly listed upfront – no surprises later. Your quote is based on property type, value, and the complexity of your move.

No – most clients complete the entire conveyancing process remotely using email, phone and secure document checks. However, if you prefer face-to-face support, you are always welcome at our New Street, Birmingham office.

A freehold means you own the property and the land it sits on.
A leasehold means you own the property for the remaining length of the lease but not the land. Leasehold properties involve more checks, fees and enquiries, which can extend the timeline. We explain all lease terms clearly before you commit.

Typical searches include:

  • Local authority search

  • Water & drainage search

  • Environmental search

  • Coal/mining or other regional searches (where applicable)

These help identify issues such as planning restrictions, flood risk, road schemes, or liabilities affecting the property.

We are approved by many major UK mortgage lenders. If your lender requires a panel solicitor and we are not on their list, we’ll tell you immediately and provide alternatives – ensuring your purchase doesn’t face delays.

Common delays include:

  • Slow management company responses (leasehold)

  • Missing paperwork from the seller

  • Mortgage lender turnaround times

  • Chain-related issues

  • Unregistered properties

  • Complex title problems

We monitor and chase all parties to keep things moving.

Yes – we support first-time buyers throughout the entire process, explaining every step in plain English so nothing feels overwhelming. We also review Help to Buy, gifted deposits and new-build documentation.

Exchange makes the agreement legally binding and sets a confirmed completion date.
Completion is when funds are transferred, keys are released, and you officially own your new property. We manage all legal steps and keep you updated on the day so you’re never left guessing.

Stamp Duty Land Tax depends on the property price, whether you’re a first-time buyer, an investor, or purchasing an additional property. We calculate this for you and submit the SDLT return after completion.

We’ll need proof of ID, proof of address, your mortgage offer (if applicable), and details of the property. Sellers must also provide property information forms, fittings forms, and leasehold information where relevant.

Ideally, as soon as you put in an offer or list your property for sale. Early instruction speeds up the entire process and reduces delays later.
