Conveyancing.. the word every first-time buyer hears, but very few actually understand (including me when I first started). What are solicitors doing behind the scenes? Why are they constantly asking for more forms, ID, and documents? And what’s really slowing everything down?
 
In this episode, I’m breaking down conveyancing in plain English so you finally know what’s going on. Main Points:
• What conveyancing actually is and why it’s essential in the home-buying process.
• Step-by-step of what your solicitor is doing behind the scenes.
• Why they ask for endless ID, forms, and documents (and why it matters).
• Common bottlenecks like contract pack delays or management packs for leaseholds.
• What to do if your solicitor is slow at replying and how to keep the process moving.
