Best Practices During Conveyancing.

Introduction

Congratulations on your recent property purchase!

This guide has been designed to make the rest of the conveyancing process as simple and stress-free as possible.

Throughout the transaction, you'll receive regular updates, helpful guidance and reminders designed to keep everything progressing smoothly.

Below, you'll find information about how Bayzos supports buyers and sellers during conveyancing, along with practical steps you can take to help avoid delays and keep your transaction moving forward.

How Bayzos Helps During Conveyancing

Buying or selling a property involves multiple parties, deadlines and legal processes.

Bayzos aims to simplify this process through proactive communication and regular progress monitoring.

Weekly Updates

Each week, Bayzos will contact both you and your solicitor to help ensure everything remains on track.

To help avoid delays, Bayzos strongly recommends that you speak with your solicitor at least once per week.

Regular communication can help identify potential issues before they become significant problems.

Handling Urgent Issues

If a milestone is missed or an issue arises during the transaction, Bayzos will mark the property as urgent until the matter has been resolved.

This helps ensure problems receive prompt attention and do not unnecessarily delay the conveyancing process.

Helpful Emails

You will receive regular emails containing:

  • Conveyancing guides

  • Helpful reminders

  • Milestone updates

  • Process guidance

These communications are designed to help you understand each stage of the transaction.

Resource Hub

The Bayzos Resource Hub contains a wide range of guides covering different stages of the conveyancing process.

If there is a guide you would like to see added, just drop us an email at gary@bayzos.co.uk

Tips for Completing Conveyancing Successfully

Stay in Contact With Your Solicitor

One of the most effective ways to avoid delays is maintaining regular communication with your solicitor.

A quick weekly check-in can help ensure:

  • Documents are progressing

  • Searches have been ordered

  • Enquiries are being dealt with

  • Milestones remain on track

Update Your Portal Promptly

Whenever a milestone is completed, update it within the portal as soon as possible.

This helps everyone involved remain informed and reduces unnecessary follow-up communication.

Stay Organised

Keep all important documents, emails and correspondence together in one place.

Good organisation can significantly reduce stress throughout the conveyancing process.

Be Proactive

Respond quickly to requests from:

  • Solicitors

  • Mortgage advisers

  • Estate agents

  • Surveyors

The quicker information is provided, the faster the transaction can progress.

Update Milestones

Once these setup actions have been completed:

Keeping milestones updated helps maintain visibility and progress throughout the conveyancing process.
