Property law — frequently asked questions
How long does a house sale or purchase take?
A straightforward freehold transaction typically takes 8–12 weeks from offer to completion; leasehold transactions or those involving a chain often take longer — see our fees page for the full breakdown.
Do you act for landlords, tenants, or both?
Both — we can act for either side of a lease or a landlord–tenant dispute (not on opposing sides of the same matter).
What if a dispute comes up during my transaction?
We'll flag it early and explain your options — most issues can be resolved without derailing the transaction.
