Waiting till after your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. Using an online service cuts down on snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready

Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Aldridge Conveyancing Solicitor fees vary between online conveyancing solicitors, high street conveyancers or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed, including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
Make sure to budget for all of the above conveyancing costs and to get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from several firms, to compare value.

Can you exchange contracts as soon as you have an offer accepted?
If your vendor is willing to do so as well, technically you can exchange contract on the day you have your offer accepted as a buyer; this is often termed an attended exchange of contracts, but you should be extremely wary of doing so.
This option is invariably only open to cash buyers; mortgage lenders expect the process to take longer so that safeguards such as property searches can be returned and there is a reasonable time period for the buyer's solicitor to make enquiries and for the answers to be returned.
An attended exchange of contracts:
- is more expensive than for standard conveyancing;
- puts more pressure on the solicitors from both sides to 'get it right' in a reduced period of time; and
- makes it a huge challenge to carry out the normal checks on a property being sold.
The advantages are clearly that, assuming all goes well, both sides will complete a property transaction in a far shorter time scale than normal so the buyer gets their property and the seller gets the requisite funds. This is not an option to be taken lightly, for the reasons stated.
