Comparing Conveyancing Solicitors

September, 2010

When comparing Solicitors it is important that you establish if they actually specialise in conveyancing or do they just dabble.  Do you want a solicitor who is a jack of all trades and who may well spend the majority of their day at Court?  They could be rather difficult to get hold of!  Ask questions about their case management software.  Can you view your transaction online?  Will you receive instant SMS updates when stages are reached in your transaction?  If the answer is no chances are that the firm does not have specialist conveyancing software and are most probably not specialists in that area.  These questions will enable you to make an accurate comparison.

Compare Conveyancing Quotes and Fees

Unfortunately Conveyancing Comparison is not an exact science. Unlike car insurance, electricity and gas units or broadband internet connections there are very rarely fixed amounts involved. Solicitor can always provide conveyancing quotes but in reality the final amount payable can vary considerably from that amount. This is because at the time of providing the quote the solicitor has no idea if the transaction will be straightforward or not i.e. will there be problems with title defects, rights of way, support and shelter etc. It is for that reason that Conveyancing does not fit neatly into Comparison sites. Here are a few tips to help you make your own comparisons:-

You must be very careful when comparing Conveyancing Quotes and fees.  Some Solicitors often start off with an extremely low quote then bombard you with extras that are hidden away in the small print.  Question that you need to ask are as follows:-

  1. How much will you have to pay if the transaction falls through?
  2. Does the quote include the cost of acting on behalf of your mortgage lender on the sale or purchase?
  3. How much will they charge to complete your SDLT return and can you do it yourself at no extra cost?
  4. How much will you have to pay if the property is leasehold?
  5. Is there an extra amount to pay if the property is unregistered?
  6. What will happen if there is a defect with the title that requires extra work?  Will that be included in the quote?

By asking these questions at the outset you should be able to gain a good idea of the likely final total and therefore be in a better position to compare the conveyancing quotes and fees
