    How Long Does Conveyancing Take in Walsall?

    Our research shows that the conveyancing process takes approximately 146 days to complete in Walsall. This means that it takes 13 days less than the 159-day national average.

    The entire buying and selling process from the initial listing to completion takes 253 days in the West Midlands region. This is 21 days less than the national average. This makes the West Midlands one of the fastest regions in the UK in terms of the buying and selling process on average.

    However, the total length of time your conveyancing process will take is dependent on your case.

    What to Expect From Conveyancing Searches in Walsall?

    The conveyancing searches are an important part of the conveyancing process. They will detect any defects in the property and surrounding area. These searches include the Environmental Search, Water & Drainage Search, and the full Local Authority Search. They will look into various aspects including flooding, subsidence, and radon gas levels.

    Walsall has a high risk of river flooding due to the River Tame that runs through the town. There is a medium risk of surface flooding in certain areas. This means that those looking at properties near the river should take note when reading the report.

    Subsidence does not appear to be a major problem in Walsall. Subsidence occurs due to the high levels of clay in the soil which is then combined with pressure from high populations and buildings. This means that cities are most susceptible to subsidence. However, always read your report just in case.

    Walsall has high radon gas levels with some areas boasting levels as high as 5-10%. Radon gas is an odourless and colourless gas that can have dangerous effects when inhaled over a long period of time. This means that it is important to ensure that the property is not in one of these areas.
