Conveyancing Solicitors
Why do we work with Conveyancing Solicitors rather than Licensed
Conveyancers ? There’s no particular reason other than
the fact that we prefer to deal with solicitors because of their
general knowledge and understanding of the law. It’s not
always the case but generally Conveyancing Solicitors tend
to be better funded and have Case Management software and
Online Tracking facilities. The legal profession can be a mine
field and whilst, admittedly, solicitors can be slightly “stuffy”
as long as you select the right Conveyancing
Solicitors your transaction should run very smoothly. Plus
if there’s a problem we’re here to help!
Conveyancing
The fact of the matter is that conveyancing is a complicated
procedure but it’s not rocket science. In the first instance
the solicitor’s name has to be passed over to the Estate
Agent and they then generate the Memorandum Of Sale. This piece
of paper is sent to both solicitors & they then write to
each other to begin the process in earnest. Contracts are then
sent out and the fundamentals of the conveyancing transaction
begins. There are various procedures to go through, on a
step by step basis, that subsequently take a prospective client
from placing an offer to actual completion of the conveyancing
process. It isn’t easy and, especially for Leasehold transactions,
there can be complications along the way but we’re here
to help. We’ll contact the solicitor, on your behalf,
if there’s a problem and try to resolve any problems as
they occur. Conveyancing
is our business and we'll help when needed.
Property Solicitors
If you’re looking for property solicitors who can provide
a service that covers both England and Wales we can offer you
the services of four specialist conveyancers. The UK market
is filled with thousands of firms who can carry out traditional
domestic conveyancing but we find it makes more sense to use
firms who are either specialist property solicitors or,
alternatively, are large Practices who have dedicated conveyancing
departments. The benefits of this approach are such that the
individual staff are 100% devoted to the task at hand and can
competently deal with all aspects of the legal work without
being dragged into other areas. Using the “dedicated”
approach the property solicitors are more likely to use invaluable
tools such as Case Management software and Online Case Tracking.
All solicitors are not the same and it pays to deal with those
specialist property
solicitors who have already been approved by ourselves.
Home Information Packs
From June 1st we believe Home Information Packs (HIP’s)
will be the “big” thing. The governments plan is
to shift a certain amount of the conveyancing effort from the
Purchaser to the Seller. In this way the Seller will be responsible
for obtaining the Searches on the property, as well as other
information, prior to the property going on the market. The
contents of the Home Information Packs have changed over
the last year, and it’s possible that they may be tweaked
some more, but it seems that the HIP and its Energy Assessment
Report are here to stay. For more information on the impact
of Home
Information Packs please call us on 0845 603 0708
Solicitors Fees
Trying to establish the exact solicitors fees you’re
being charged isn’t always easy – generally speaking
it can be a nightmare. Because solicitors will sometimes go
out of their way to confuse the issue we have established the
disbursements necessary for each transaction and we state them
clearly on the website. In this way you can be assured that
there are no hidden solicitors fees or additional extra’s
which you’ll subsequently be charged. You may find it
useful, when comparing quotes, to use our figures as a template.
With this in mind you’ll find that the solicitors
fees you’ll see on our site are both a genuine and
reliable guide to the cost of your conveyancing.
