Things to Know About Conveyancing Fees

Will I See Additional Fees Being Charged?

Some firms may provide a low initial quote but later add charges for necessary services such as local searches, disbursements, or additional legal work. It’s important to clarify what is included in your quote to avoid surprises. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of costs upfront to ensure transparency.

What If My Property Falls Through?

The property market can be unpredictable, and transactions sometimes fall through. It’s helpful to ask if the firm offers a “no move, no fee” guarantee, which protects you from paying fees if the transaction doesn’t complete. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we offer this option for added peace of mind.

Am I Protected with No Move, No Fee?

Our No Move, No Fee policy ensures that if your transaction does not proceed, you won’t be liable for legal fees. This is particularly valuable for buyers and sellers who want protection against financial loss if the deal falls through.

How is My Money Protected?

When dealing with large sums of money, such as deposits, it’s essential to ensure your funds are secure. Reputable conveyancers are regulated by authorities like the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) or the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC). At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we do not hold funds on account, and all our partner firms are fully regulated, providing peace of mind regarding your money’s safety.

Other Important Things to Consider When Choosing a Conveyancing Firm

Is the Firm Regulated? Verify that the conveyancer you choose is regulated by a professional authority such as the SRA or CLC. This regulation guarantees adherence to high standards, providing you with protection if issues arise during your transaction.

Do I Have a Direct Point of Contact from Start to Finish? Having a dedicated conveyancer managing your case ensures smooth communication and a better overall experience. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, each client is assigned a dedicated contact for consistent support throughout the process.

Is My Conveyancer Local to Me? A local conveyancer familiar with the property market may offer valuable insights. However, with online conveyancing, you’re not limited to local options. We provide both online and in-person services to accommodate your needs.

Is the Service Provided Electronic/Online-Based? Online conveyancing can be ideal for clients who prefer handling their transactions remotely. This method often speeds up the process, as many tasks can be completed electronically. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we offer comprehensive online services, with the option for in-person meetings if desired.

Can I See My Solicitor If I Want To? Even with online conveyancing, you may still want the option to meet your solicitor in person. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we provide flexible options, allowing for both online and face-to-face meetings based on your preferences.

What Sort of Reviews Does the Firm Have? Before committing to any conveyancer, it’s wise to check reviews to gauge their reputation. Look for testimonials on independent review sites to ensure credibility. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, our positive reviews highlight our commitment to quality service.

What is the Conveyancing Process?

The conveyancing process consists of several stages, including pre-contract preparation, local searches, contract exchange, and final completion. Your solicitor will manage all legal documentation, liaise with the seller’s solicitor, conduct searches, and ensure the title is clear. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we guide you through each step with transparency and support. 

What Should I Look Out for or Prepare?

To avoid delays, prepare necessary documents early. Buyers should have mortgage agreements, proof of deposit, and ID verification ready, while sellers should prepare property deeds and any relevant planning permissions. Being organised helps ensure a smooth transaction.

How Can I Ensure My Transaction Goes Through Smoothly?

Clear communication, prompt responses, and thorough preparation are essential for a successful transaction. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we provide regular updates to keep you informed and help your transaction proceed efficiently.

Should I Choose the Cheapest Conveyancing Quote?

While a low quote may seem attractive, be cautious of hidden fees. Some low quotes may exclude essential services, leading to unexpected costs. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we provide competitive, all-inclusive quotes, ensuring clarity in what you’re paying for. 

Do I Have to Use My Estate Agent’s Recommendation?

Estate agents may suggest conveyancers, but you are under no obligation to use them. It’s wise to compare options to find the best fit for your needs. At Conveyancing-Solicitor.co.uk, we encourage clients to choose based on experience, reputation, and thorough research.

What Research Should I Be Doing to Choose the Best Conveyancer for Me?

Helping you every step of your move

Our advice centre features frequently asked questions by home buyers and sellers just like you!

Why instruct a conveyancer as soon as an offer has been accepted?

In many cases, if you are buying a property, the agent will not take the property off the market until you have confirmed a solicitor.

As soon as you are about to confirm a sale, you may hear the question, ‘Who is your solicitor?’. The agent in this case is getting the transaction ready to be confirmed so the next stage can start without delay. Without these details, typically the property will not be taken off the market. The same can also be said if you are selling.

Most transactions fall through within the first few weeks so it is important to be organised and ensure you have chosen a suitable law firm that can cater to your requirements when asked.

When will I get direct contact details of my solicitor so I can pass them over to the agent / mortgage broker?

Immediately.

Once you are ready to proceed with your quote, a friendly member of our client services department will call you to confirm some basic details and set up your conveyancing with your local solicitor.

You are then sent an email confirmation along with your confirmed details of your dedicated case handler. We will even call your estate agent to introduce ourselves and confirm the details with them so they can take the property off the market!

I've not confirmed my mortgage lender yet, can I still proceed?

Yes.

It is not necessary to have a mortgage in place if you already have had an offer accepted. At this stage, it is important to confirm your solicitor details with your agent showing your intention to purchase the property. Working with a Law firm that covers you for no move no fee in these situations is essential so you are not left out of pocket should your mortgage not go through and you are forced to pull out of the purchase.

Conveyancing Solicitor offers a conclusive no move no fee guarantee and works with every major UK mortgage lender which means you are safe to instruct our solicitors even if you haven’t confirmed a lender. 
This saves you time, money and most importantly progresses the transaction which means your purchase is less likely to fall through.

Most solicitors in the UK only work with a handful of mortgage lenders, so it may be seen as a risk to conduct the services of a law firm that may not be able to work with your prospective mortgage lender.

What is a free search pack guarantee?

Should your transaction fall through, one of the biggest fees to hit your pocket is to pay for searches again on the next property.

 

We won’t let that happen.

 

Our free search pack guarantee offers a 2nd search pack at no cost to you should your first property purchase fall through.
There will be no further costs for disbursements if you have already paid on the first property. 

 

The remainder of your quoted fees will be paid as normal on the completion of your property transaction.

Is my conveyancer local?

Yes.

Our main criteria is to ensure that your chosen solicitor is as local as possible. All of our law firms are regulated and strictly vetted to ensure they are able to provide you with the best service possible. We only choose great solicitors with great reviews and a great reputation to enhance the home buying and selling experience for you. 

We factor your location, the type of transaction, e.g. freehold or leasehold, new build or auction property, any completion target requirements and general service requests to ensure the best suited solicitor is working closely with you at a fraction of the cost that you would expect to pay. 

Are there any additional charges?

No.
As long as you have provided the correct information from the outset to generate your fixed and all-inclusive quote, you will not be charged anything extra and your price will not change.

What if I can't get hold of my solicitor?
