Conveyancing solicitors are qualified legal professionals who manage the transfer of property ownership when you buy, sell, or remortgage a home in the UK. They handle every legal step of the transaction — from the moment your offer is accepted to the day you receive your keys.

Without a conveyancing solicitor, you cannot legally complete a property purchase or sale in England and Wales. They are not optional — they are the legal backbone of every property transaction.

A good conveyancing solicitor does far more than shuffle paperwork. Here is what they handle on your behalf:

• Check the legal title to the property — confirming the seller actually owns it and has the right to sell
• Run property searches — local authority, environmental, drainage, and water searches to uncover hidden issues
• Review and negotiate the contract of sale — protecting your interests before you sign anything
• Raise enquiries with the seller's solicitor — getting answers to anything unusual or unclear
• Arrange the transfer of funds — coordinating your deposit, mortgage funds, and the final balance
• Exchange contracts — making the transaction legally binding
• Complete the purchase — transferring ownership on completion day
• Register with the Land Registry — ensuring you are officially recorded as the new owner

Both can legally handle your property transaction. A conveyancing solicitor is a fully qualified solicitor who specialises in property law. A licensed conveyancer is a specialist who is qualified specifically in property conveyancing but is not a solicitor.

Either can handle a standard residential transaction. For complex cases — boundary disputes, unusual title issues, or transactions involving trusts — a conveyancing solicitor's broader legal training can be an advantage.

All professionals on our panel are either SRA-regulated solicitors or CLC-regulated licensed conveyancers. Every single one is vetted before we recommend them.

The average conveyancing process in England and Wales takes between 8 and 16 weeks, though this varies significantly depending on the complexity of the transaction and how long the chain is.

The single biggest factor in how long your conveyancing takes is the responsiveness of the solicitors involved — including those acting for the other party. Our panel solicitors are selected partly on their track record for speed and communication.

Conveyancing solicitor fees in the UK typically range from £500 to £2,500 depending on the property value, transaction type, and whether you use a high street or online conveyancing solicitor. Through our panel, most clients pay between £800 and £1,400 all-in — including disbursements. That is up to 75% less than standard high street rates for the same quality of service.

What is included in conveyancing fees?

A conveyancing quote should always cover two types of cost:

• Legal fees: The solicitor's charge for their time and expertise. On our panel, these are always fixed — the price quoted is the price you pay.
• Disbursements: Third-party costs your solicitor pays on your behalf. These include local authority searches, Land Registry fees, drainage searches, environmental searches, and bank transfer fees.

Typical disbursements when buying a property

• Local authority search: £50 to £250 (varies by council)
• Land Registry fee: £20 to £500 (based on property value)
• Environmental search: £30 to £60
• Water and drainage search: £30 to £50
• Electronic ID verification: £5 to £20
• Bank transfer (telegraphic transfer) fee: £20 to £45
• Stamp Duty Land Tax — calculated separately based on purchase price

We always provide a full breakdown upfront. No surprises, no additions mid-transaction. If your purchase falls through, our No Move No Fee guarantee means you pay nothing in legal fees — and if you need a second search pack on a new property, we cover that too.

Whether you are a first-time buyer, an experienced investor, or somewhere in between — we have a conveyancing solicitor matched to your transaction.

There are thousands of conveyancing solicitors in the UK. Here is why our panel stands apart — and why over 10,000 clients have trusted us with their move.

Choosing a conveyancing solicitor is not just about finding the cheapest quote. The wrong solicitor can cost you far more — in delays, fallen-through sales, missed deadlines, and stress. Here is exactly what to look for.

1. 1

   Check they are properly regulated

   Your solicitor must be regulated by either the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) or the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC). You can verify this on their respective websites. Never instruct a solicitor who cannot provide their registration number.

2. 2

   Prioritise communication above everything else

   The number one complaint in conveyancing is poor communication. Slow responses, no updates, calls that go unanswered. Before instructing anyone, check their reviews specifically for mentions of communication and responsiveness. A 5-star solicitor who is unreachable is worse than a 4-star one who picks up the phone every time.

3. 3

   Insist on fixed fees

   Avoid any solicitor charging hourly rates for conveyancing. Conveyancing should be a fixed-fee service. Get the full quote in writing before you instruct — legal fees plus all disbursements. If they cannot give you a fixed price, that tells you something.

4. 4

   Ask about your dedicated case handler

   Will you have one person handling your case throughout, or will it be passed between team members? Large online conveyancers often have high caseloads and junior staff. Smaller firms on curated panels tend to offer more consistent, personal service.

5. 5

   Check their lender panel

   If you are buying with a mortgage, confirm your solicitor is on your lender's approved panel. Not all solicitors are approved by all lenders — and discovering this mid-transaction causes serious delays.

6. 6

   Look for local knowledge where it matters

   For properties with unusual title issues, local planning considerations, or known area-specific problems (flooding, mining, etc.), a solicitor with local knowledge can be invaluable. Our panel includes solicitors with regional expertise across every part of England and Wales.
