Conveyancing is the legal transfer of a property from one owner to another. Although you don’t have to use a conveyancer or conveyancing solicitor it is highly recommended to have a professional do this for you. It is a complicated process and there are many things that can go wrong. A skilled solicitor or conveyancer can make the process run much smoother and quicker.

Conveyancing Solicitor or Conveyancer?

It doesn’t really matter, both are trained experts in the legal aspects of buying, selling or remortgaging a property. The difference between them is that conveyancers can only work within conveyancing and solicitors can offer other legal services. For a standard sale or purchase it doesn’t matter which you chose. If you have other legal matters to take care of, for instance if the sale is part of divorce proceedings and you need legal advice from the family team then a solicitor might be a better option.

Do I Need a Conveyancer Before I Make An Offer?

No, but once your offer is accepted the estate agent will need details of your chosen solicitor quickly in order to proceed the sale and purchase. It also makes sense to do your research early so you can budget for the conveyancing costs and find the best fixed price conveyancer for you.

How Much Are Conveyancing Fees?

Conveyancing fees are dependent on the details of the property you plan to sell or purchase. However, you should seek a fixed fee quote so that you know there are no additional costs to pay. Not all quotes include all costs so be aware and be sure you are comparing like for like.
