How do I choose a Conveyancer?
- Be careful! It’s your biggest investment, cheaper is not always better in the long run
- Get like-for-like quotes and make sure you “read between the lines”
- Ask family and friends for recommendations, there is nothing better than first-hand experience from someone you trust!
- Don’t assume the conveyancer your estate agent or morgage advisor receommened is the best one in the area, these transactions often pay them a referral fee.
- Communication is key to a stress-free process, and also the biggest number of compliants the Ombudsman receives every year. So do your homework! Read online reviews.
- Ask what qualifications the team has, you can always enquire with the SRA (solicitors regulation authority). Are they qualified solicitors and accredited paralegals/legal executives? Or is the team monitored by one qualifed manager, with unqualified support staff doing the bulk of the work?
- Read the small print! ‘No move, no fee’ deals don’t necessarily mean you’ll have nothing to pay
