Bedfordshire is often abbreviated to Beds and is a county located to the East of England. It is a ceremonial county and a historic county, covered by three unitary authorities: Bedford, Central Bedfordshire, and Luton. Bedfordshire is bordered by Cambridgeshire to the northeast, Northamptonshire to the north, Buckinghamshire to the west and Hertfordshire to the southeast.Bedford itself is halfway between Oxford and Cambridge and a railway line nicknamed the Varsity or Brain Line used to connect the two universities. Bedfordshire contains the Chiltern Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty, as well as Woburn Abbey and Safari Park. John Bunyan, author of the Pigrim's Progress, was from the county (born Elstow, just south of Bedford) and actually spent 12 years in Bedford Gaol for his nonconformist views regarding the restoration of the monarchy!

What are the conveyancing costs?
Bedford Conveyancing Solicitor fees dramatically vary depending on whether you approach an online conveyancing solicitor, a high street conveyancer or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed as they are set including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
It is important to make sure when budgeting the costs of moving home that you factor in all of the above conveyancing costs and ensure you get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from your chosen local solicitors or licensed conveyancer.
Whether you're a cash buyer or buying with a mortgage solicitors are key to the whole process, making the right choice critically important.
Fast, good and cheap conveyancing
Read our guides on how you can get all three:
Should you get a property survey if you're a cash buyer?
We always recommend that property buyers get a RICS home buyers survey to find out if the property you're looking to buy has any suspicions of defects such as subsidence and damp.
Anyone buying with a mortgage must book and pay for a mortgage valuation, carried out on behalf of the lender. This survey, although never as thorough as a RICS home buyers survey, at least considers the condition of the property even if only passingly.
There is no requirement to book any kind of survey if you're buying with cash, however unless you are yourself a property expert, you risk many things going wrong. Defects like subsidence can cost upwards of 10s of £1,000s to rectify and you would be passing up on gathering powerful evidence that could be used to bargain with the seller for a reduction in price if, say, any defects were found.
You should also consider the future resale of the property. Anyone buying with a mortgage will themselves have to get a mortgage valuation and a large percentage of buyers do organise RIC home buyers surveys. By getting such a survey before you buy the property, you are eliminating much of the possibility of getting a nasty surprise later, if there are any defects. It may even be that they are so bad that you choose to pull out of the purchase, on the grounds of the survey report.
