    How Long Does Conveyancing Take in Greenwich?

    Our team found that the conveyancing process takes approximately 159 days in Greenwich. This is the same length of time as the national average. This takes up just over half of the entire process.

    The full process from the initial listing to the day of completion takes around 297 days in Greenwich. Compared to the national average of 274 days, this is significantly longer. This is because properties are more likely to remain on the market for a longer period of time in Greenwich compared to other regions.

    The total time your conveyancing process will take is dependent on factors relating to the difficulty of the case. For example, if you are on the property chain, you will face delays as you will likely be selling and buying a property at the same time.

    What to Expect From Conveyancing Searches in Greenwich?

    Conveyancing searches are one of the most important parts of the conveyancing process. They will provide you with useful information regarding the property.

    There are areas of Greenwich that have high levels of risk from flooding. Properties near the River Quaggy, Deptford Creek, and Butts Canal are more likely to be affected.

    Geobear's Subsidence Map shows that there are risks of subsidence present throughout East London. Furthermore, evidence of subsidence can be seen across the borough of Greenwich. The findings appear to be a lower risk than areas of Central and South London, but it can still be a concern for potential homeowners.

    There is evidence of Radon Gas throughout East London, however, there are much lower levels within Greenwich. Readings are among the lowest in the UK in the centre of the borough. However, there are slightly higher levels in outer areas of the borough, such as Plumstead and Kidbrooke.
