Frequently Asked Questions
Buying a house is a huge step choosing a conveyancing solicitor can also be a daunting task. Should you just accept the one recommended by your estate agent or building society, should you make numerous telephone calls yourself for quotes, or are you tempted by the cheapest firm? How can you be sure that you will receive the best value for money conveyancing service?
We have built up a panel of solicitors who are willing and able to deliver a prompt and efficient conveyancing service. We monitor their performance on an ongoing basis and if they do not meet our standards - then we do not recommend them to our clients. Furthermore, we have negotiated very special fees with them, so that you - the client - get the best deal possible.
What if our building society/estate agent has strongly recommended we use a local solicitor?
This is usually the case, as they prefer you to use their own chosen solicitor in order to reciprocate local business. Indeed, many of the larger agents have now also formed joint partnerships with solicitors. The questions here are:
Will you, the client, be getting impartial legal advice on your transaction?
Will it cost you extra money for the same conveyancing to be done?
Our solicitors are approved by all the major banks and building societies (and are on their panel) meaning they can act for both you, and the lender, for No Extra Cost.
Remember, you are totally free to choose your own solicitor. At the end of the day it is your choice, and you are paying the bill!
I have been told that a local solicitor would do a better (quicker) job, and I can visit if necessary.
All solicitors have to carry out exactly the same local enquiries and searches as any local solicitor would - there is NO difference. Our solicitors use fax, e-mail and overnight document exchange to ensure there are no delays.
Most clients make one visit at most, to see their solicitor, in order to sign contracts (and even this is not necessary). In today's modern world, most conveyancing is already conducted by fax, e mail, telephone and post for convenience. We find that most clients want the legal work undertaken efficiently, promptly and at a reasonable cost. This is exactly what we offer! (However, we will always offer you our most local solicitor as an alternative).
Why is it that your prices are lower than other quotes I have received?
Solicitors fees vary considerably throughout the country, plus we have negotiated special discounted fees, only due to the volume of clients we refer to them.
How do we know we will get a good service from these solicitors?
We selected our panel of solicitors on merit and efficiency, and have now been using them for many years. All our ‘high street’ firms are, of course, members of the Law Society with full indemnity insurance for your protection.
Can we deal directly with the solicitor concerning our matter?
Most certainly, once we have given them your details, you will deal with them direct.
What if we have any difficulties in contacting or dealing with the solicitor?
In this unlikely event, please do not hesitate to contact us personally. We have an excellent working relationship with our lawyers and will always be pleased to assist.
How do we proceed if we are interested or have any further queries?
Our dedicated team will be only too pleased to help should you have any questions or queries, so please Contact Us
