At Lumine Solicitors, an experienced property law firm based in London, we provide our clients with clear,
practical guidance to ensure residential transactions proceed efficiently, with minimal disruption. Whether you
are buying your first home or preparing to sell, our residential conveyancing team is here to support you.

Importance of Early Instruction

Our team advises that clients instruct a solicitor as early as possible, ideally before an offer is accepted or a
property is placed on the market.

For sellers, this allows us to begin reviewing your legal title, identify potential issues, and prepare the contract
pack. We also assist with completing essential legal forms, including the Property Information Form and Fittings
& Contents Form. These documents contain important declarations and must be completed accurately to avoid
delays or disputes.

For buyers, early legal instruction allows us to carry out necessary compliance checks, explain the legal process
in advance, and liaise with your mortgage lender or broker to ensure your financial arrangements are aligned
with the transaction timescale.

How Long Will It Take?

A typical sale or purchase takes around six to eight weeks, but this depends on how quickly documents are
gathered, forms completed, and responses received, especially when there’s a chain involved. If other
transactions are linked to yours, progress may depend on when others are ready to proceed.

The key to keeping everything on track is communication. By staying in touch with your solicitor and estate
agent and being proactive about paperwork, you’ll help the process move forward with fewer delays.

Clear Guidance Throughout

Our role at Lumine Solicitors is to manage the legal process so that you don’t have to. We explain every step in
detail, ensure all documentation is in order, and communicate proactively with estate agents, lenders, and
solicitors on the other side. We aim to remove any unclarity you may have, giving you the confidence to proceed
with peace of mind.
