Local conveyancing solicitor
Should I use a Licensed Conveyancer or Conveyancing Solicitor near me?
Solicitors are usually more expensive than a conveyancer, which is fine as long as they specialise in property transactions. It can be beneficial to choose a property lawyer in case of any specialist legal complications with your property transaction.
The best-of-both approach is to instruct a licensed conveyancing solicitor who employs some other conveyancing professionals to complete the simpler parts of the work under their supervision, at a lower rate.
This is how your work will be allocated at SAM, and part of how we keep your fee low.

Selling a property
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property will include:
- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.
- Responding to enquiries – your solicitor responds to any questions the buyer's solicitor may have (this is where you'll find out if you are missing documents, which can cause delays to your sale).
- Investigating issues – your solicitor may need to complete further investigation to try and satisfy them.
- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged.
- On the day of completion – your solicitor receives the money for the sale, discharges the mortgage (if required), pays the estate agent, deducts their fee and then sends the net sale proceeds to you.
- Post completion – your solicitor receives the DS1 discharge documents and, when leasehold, settles your liabilities for ground rent and service charges.
Our conveyancing solicitors' cost for selling a property starts from £723 INC VAT.

Does the solicitor physically visit the property being purchased?
A solicitor acting for the buyer of a property does not visit a property as part of their work as they will conduct a review of the legal documentation of the property to assess whether there are any issues with the property that will affect the buyer purchasing the property or reselling it again in future.
Usually, purchasers will use a two-professionals-attack method whereby a solicitor is initially instructed to complete a legal title check and a local RICS surveyor is employed who actually visits the property assess the defects which may affect its current value or cause issues once bought.
