According to national statistics, conveyancing can take up to 20 weeks on average across the UK.

However, Juno's process is normally 8 weeks quicker, with an average of just 12 weeks for a freehold property deal to reach completion. Leasehold properties can take a bit longer due to the extra communications with the management companies involved.

If both seller and purchaser choose Juno for their conveyancing services, transactions usually complete 2-3 weeks quicker.

The main searches in conveyancing include local authority checks, environmental assessments, and water & drainage searches. All of these assess any potential issues that could affect your property.
