subject: Finding A Reasonable Conveyancing Quote [print this page] A conveyancer is a solicitor who handles everything related to the transferring of properties from one person to another, including the legal parts (drawing of deeds etc). Achieving a good, cheap conveyancing quote can be quite difficult if you don't know how and where to look. Finding specialist solicitors to provide you with a conveyancing solution for a competitive price is what everyone wants.
Conveyancing Quote
Buying or selling a property can be a very stressful time. What you don't need is even more stress because you decided to go with a solicitor who wasn't up to the job. An experienced and trustworthy solicitor doesn't have to be overly expensive - but you do need to make sure you find a solicitor who will provide a conveyancing quote that's cheap and has no hidden costs; what they quote is what you will pay.
Tip 1: Finding the Cheap Conveyancing Quote
This is the most important tip! Knowing where to look is half the battle, and the number one place to look in the 21st Century is the Internet. However, that doesn't mean you don't search elsewhere!
People use the World Wide Web (WWW) for almost everything, whether it's information or for products or services - it's so easy to use and can save you time and money. Searching from the comfort of your own home allows you to avoid any distractions and take your time; you won't have to make phone calls or trawl around the streets looking for a cheap conveyancing quote, unless you want to.
The Internet will provide you with listings from all over the country, something you couldn't have achieved by going out and searching the old fashioned way. When searching online for a conveyancing quote you need to make sure you stick to the following rules:
*Deal with a company that has an 'About Us' page - this may seem obvious, but if they aren't prepared to take the time to write an 'About Us' page describing the company's various experience and qualifications, then they probably won't take the time to put the extra effort in for you.
*Make sure the website has plenty of information (or articles) about conveyancing. Why? If the company does this then it shows that they know what they are doing!
*Do they have a physical address? Are you able to call or fax them? It's not all about email! You need to be able to speak to a human being sometimes, especially for something as important as getting a conveyancing quote.
Ensure You Know Who's Dealing With What
Again, this may seem obvious but if you don't ask who is specifically dealing with your case you're making a big mistake. There are often cases where people give solicitors and conveyancers a bad name simply because they had several people dealing with their case and didn't take the time to ask the name of the solicitor who will be working on the case from start to finish.
When looking for a cheap conveyancing quote ensure you search online and look for a company that knows what it's doing and offers a competitive price - not one or the other.
