Thinking of moving or buying your first home?

If so, why not start your research now? Most people look for a house, and then think about instructing a Conveyancing Lawyer much later.

Whilst this is everyone’s individual choice, we believe preparation is key and this can be achieved by choosing your Lawyer at an early stage and ensuring they can meet your expectations and needs.

It may save time when you are at a critical stage of negotiating your sale and/or purchase.

Who shall I instruct?

If someone recommends a firm to you then fine, most of our work comes from repeat business and recommendations but you should always enquire as to the qualifications and experience held by the firm and the staff.

Are they experienced in their field of law?

If a business recommends someone to you, ask yourself why and if there are benefits to such a recommendation??

Whatever deal you decide to go for, make sure you feel confident in the lawyers that are to represent you.

When you speak to the staff, get a feel for them. Are they approachable, do they do their best to assist you? Query prices and enquire as to any information you need to provide so that you can get as accurate an estimate as possible.

Think carefully about choosing online conveyancers or ones based in another city too far away for comfortable travel. Communication will almost certainly be by email and telephone. Is this acceptable to you? How difficult might it be to get through on the telephone and be dealt with in a timely fashion?

Think about any redress you may have with an online firm if things go wrong and how difficult that may be to resolve. In such a case you may have to resort to employing another solicitor to contact them and make headway with a problem or complaint. Instances such as those almost always require the payment of another set of charges to investigate. There is then the untidy and usually drawn-out procedure to try to recover compensation.

Choose carefully, after all, this could be vital to the successful purchase of your new house or to the completion of your sale on time.

Setbacks and delays are part and parcel of conveyancing transactions and you need to be aware of why they happen. There is often a huge amount of legal work that buyers and sellers are not aware of. The process can be technical and complicated.
