    How Long Does Conveyancing Take in Enfield?

    According to our team's research, the average time it takes to complete the conveyancing process in Enfield, London is 159 days.

    As the full buying and selling process from the initial listing to completion takes around 297 days, the conveyancing process takes over half of the entire timeline for the transaction. However, the average recorded in Enfield is only 3 days longer than the national average of 156 days.

    It should be noted that conveyancing can take longer if you're buying or selling a leasehold or Help to Buy property. This is because the transactions often include additional paperwork and thus a bigger workload for your conveyancer. This is often why leasehold homes are more expensive.

    What to Expect From Conveyancing Searches in Enfield?

    The conveyancing searches are a vital part of the conveyancing process. They will often include a Local Authority Search and an Environmental Search. Any environmental issues that can negatively impact the property will be highlighted in the conveyancing search report, as well any potential legal issues found.

    The most significant sources of flooding in Enfield are main rivers and surface water. Enfield Council’s Flood Risk Management Strategy states that the rise in extreme weather conditions, the presence of existing buildings in areas of flood risk and limited public funding, mean that flood incidents cannot be prevented.

    London and its various boroughs are also at risk of ground instability concerns due to the fact that many areas have been built on “London Clay”. This is a natural material and a type of shrinkable clay that's susceptible to changes. This is supported by the identified subsidence hotspots across the UK. There is a notable amount of subsidence reported across Enfield on Geobear's Subsidence Map.
