Conveyancing & Survey Services

When you’ve found your dream home and your mortgage offer is in hand, the next step is making sure everything behind the scenes is legally and structurally sound. That’s where conveyancing and surveys come in. At CA Mortgages , we make the process simple – connecting you with trusted professionals who ensure your purchase is protected from start to finish.

What is Conveyancing?

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership from one person to another. It involves checking the title deeds, local authority searches, and ensuring that there are no hidden surprises that could affect your purchase.

In simple terms, your conveyancer makes sure that the home you’re buying is legally yours — and that there’s nothing lurking in the fine print that could cause problems later.

  • Reviewing contracts and property title
  • Handling enquiries with the seller’s solicitor
  • Carrying out local authority and environmental searches
  • Managing the exchange of contracts and completion day funds

 

We work closely with experienced conveyancing partners who provide clear updates and fair pricing — no hidden costs or confusing legal jargon.

Craig Adams was honestly brilliant from start to finish. I was really worried at the beginning and genuinely didn’t think I’d be able to get a mortgage, but Craig worked his magic and managed to get me one that I didn’t think was possible. He was always there whenever we needed him, no matter how small the question was, and took the time to explain everything properly so we actually understood what was going on. He made the whole process feel so much less stressful and was really easy to talk to throughout. We’re genuinely so grateful for all his help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage adviser.

I can’t thank Craig enough for his help in getting us into our first home! As first-time buyers, the whole process felt a bit overwhelming at first, but Craig has reassured us every step of the way and always made us feel comfortable asking any questions we had about both our mortgage and insurance.

What Does a Property Survey Involve?

A survey is a professional inspection of the property’s condition. It identifies structural issues, potential repairs, and helps you decide if the asking price reflects the true value.

While mortgage lenders carry out a basic valuation to confirm the property is worth the loan amount, this isn’t the same as a survey. A full survey offers peace of mind and can help you avoid costly surprises later.

  • HomeBuyer Report – for modern, standard properties, highlighting visible defects and urgent repairs.
  • Building Survey – for older or unique homes, offering a deeper structural analysis and maintenance advice.
  • Valuation Survey – the simplest option, often required by lenders, confirming the property’s market value.

Choosing the right survey depends on the property’s age, condition, and how confident you feel about its state. We’ll help you decide what’s most suitable for your purchase.

Why Both Matter

Conveyancing and surveys are sometimes treated as a formality – but they’re vital for protecting your investment. Your conveyancer ensures the paperwork is correct, while your surveyor ensures the property itself is sound.

Together, they give you full confidence that your new home is both legally secure and structurally safe before you commit to the final purchase.

How CA Mortgages Can Help

We know that dealing with multiple professionals can feel overwhelming. That’s why we work alongside a network of trusted conveyancers and RICS-accredited surveyors who share our commitment to clear communication, fair pricing, and excellent service.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer, moving home, or remortgaging, we can arrange introductions, coordinate updates, and ensure your mortgage, conveyancing, and survey all move forward smoothly together.

Our goal is to take the stress out of the process — so you can focus on the exciting part: getting your keys.

Typical Timescales & Costs

Every property purchase is unique, but as a guide:

  • Conveyancing usually takes 8–12 weeks from offer to completion.
  • HomeBuyer Reports typically cost between £400–£700.
  • Full Building Surveys range from £700–£1,200 depending on size and complexity.

We’ll always provide clear estimates and keep you updated throughout. Transparency is key – you’ll never be left guessing about progress or pricing.
