Conveyancing is an important step of buying a property
Settling down into your dream home brings a world of possibilities and avenues for exploration. From finding the perfect décor to understanding all that the neighbourhood has in store, you get an opportunity to create lasting memories with friends and family from near and far.
Furthermore, integrating children into new schools provides exciting opportunities for growth while making sure those who work have reasonable commutes is essential too.
When making the financial commitment to purchase your home - likely the biggest asset of your lifetime – it is essential that you get accurate assessment. Though many solicitors are certified for this purpose, take into consideration what exactly matters to you and ask detailed questions when searching out a law firm who will meet those needs.
While internet discounts seem appealing initially, be aware there’s always potential for lower-cost firms handling high volumes of cases with inadequate attention being paid per transaction. Make sure quality comes first in such an important decision.
It is likely you will be investing upwards from £100,000 on a new home; as the biggest purchase of your lifetime, it doesn't make sense to cut corners on this vital part of the process.
The speed and quality of the conveyancing process is reliant on all parties involved working with reliable, reputable solicitors.
What to consider:
Take the guesswork out of buying your home and secure a fixed fee quote that covers all additional costs, such as leasehold property on-boarding.
Ensure you ask for disbursements like Land Registry fees and Stamp Duty to be included in the final price—the last thing you want is unpleasant surprises further down your journey.
To help ensure smooth sailing ahead, confirm whether your prospective conveyancer has been approved by your mortgage lender's panel before signing any agreements with them.
When looking for a conveyancing firm, it's important to ensure you have an attentive and dedicated contact point.
Find out what other work the main point of person does to gauge their availability; this will prevent delays should they be called away due to other commitments such as Court appearances.
Consider using firms that specialise solely in conveyancing or ask smaller businesses about cover arrangements when selecting your provider.
Additionally, make sure there is a communication method available that meets your needs - after all, convenience is key.
