Quick answers to the questions we get asked most often.
How long does conveyancing take?
Typical Scottish property purchases take around 8 to 12 weeks from offer to date-of-entry, though complex chains, title issues or lender delays can extend that. We'll give you a realistic timeline at the start.
Do I need a solicitor to buy a house in Scotland?
Yes. Unlike England and Wales, in Scotland property transactions are handled by solicitors rather than licensed conveyancers — they negotiate missives on your behalf as well as handling the legal paperwork.
What are missives?
Missives are the formal letters exchanged between the buyer's and seller's solicitors that together form the contract of sale. Once missives are "concluded", the deal is legally binding.
How much does conveyancing cost?
Fees vary depending on the price of the property and the complexity of the transaction. Our legal partners will give you a clear, itemised quote up front — no hidden surprises.
What is LBTT?
Land and Buildings Transaction Tax is the Scottish equivalent of Stamp Duty, payable on property purchases above a threshold. The amount depends on the price and whether you're a first-time buyer or buying an additional property.
Can I arrange legal advice alongside my mortgage?
Yes — and it's one of the main reasons people use The Home Hub. We coordinate your mortgage, legal work and insurance so everything lines up for your date of entry, with one team across the process.
