Buying and selling property can be a stressful experience but if you are happy with your conveyancer then the stress levels can be kept as low as possible. Here are some tips on how to find a conveyancer.
1. Firstly do you have any recommendations from friends or family? Recommendations are always valuable. Your estate agent may also be able to give you feedback on the solicitors in your local area.
2. Be sure to get quotes rather than estimates for how much it will cost. Fees can vary considerably and it's good to know what the final bill is expected to be.
3. How can you contact them? Some estate agencies may offer an in-house conveyancing service which may be what you are after. However, check how you can contact them and make sure you are happy with what they offer. For example, you may only be able to contact them via email. If you are someone who likes to have an immediate question answered then this type of communication may not best suit you. However, their benefits such as no sale, no fee may suit you well.
4. How busy are they? If they are very busy then this might show two things: one, they are popular which could be a point in their favour, but two, if they are too busy then the large workload could mean that progress on each individual case is slow.
5. Check out online conveyancing companies. They can offer low fixed rates, no sale - no fee options and have extended hours where you can contact them by phone, email, post or fax. You do not meet anyone face to face so again it depends on how you like to work and what you feel most comfortable with.
To find a conveyancer to suit your needs research what is on offer, consider how you like to work with others and then make an informed decision. A conveyancer you are happy with should make the whole process of buying and selling property easier and give you more time to be excited about your new home.
