Local conveyancing solicitor
Are online licensed conveyancing solicitors better than property lawyers near me?
Before the internet, finding local licensed conveyancing solicitors would have meant consulting your local phone book or taking a walk down your high street.
Before modern ID checking processes, your local conveyancing solicitors would need to meet with you to confirm who you were as part of their money laundering and 'Know Your Client' checks. Solicitors previously used to use this time to talk through the transaction with you in person - a part of the service that was reflected in their fees. Nowadays, the legal process can be completed without face to face meetings, using online ID checks.
Although local knowledge becomes critical when choosing your RICS surveyor for a home buyers survey, your solicitor will carry out their work by processing documents and forms, virtually all of which can be obtained and/or transmitted electronically, from down the road or a hundred miles away.
You'll usually find that a high-street conveyancer will charge extra for business conducted 'in person', such as ID checking, and that their time is better spent focusing on progressing your case. We welcome queries from our clients and act as the vital link between you and your solicitor, which means you're kept in the loop and your solicitor is fully engaged in getting your move completed, as quickly and efficiently as possible.

If there are 80 years or less on the leasehold, it will be harder to mortgage. Whether you're buying or selling, consider extending the lease, which may be done before, during, or in some cases after the transaction.
Our specialist leasehold conveyancing solicitors have vast experience handling the extension of a short lease for buyers and sellers. Speak to a SAM advisor for inclusive, fixed-fee, conveyancing quotes for leasehold conveyancing or share of freehold conveyancing today. Property Challenges Solved.

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.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Fees vary between online conveyancing solicitors, high street conveyancers or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed, 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).
Make sure to budget for all of the above conveyancing costs and to get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from several firms, to compare value.

What is the Help to Buy ISA?
The Help to Buy ISA is a savings account in which you can save money to purchase your first home. The Government will boost your savings by 25%, for example, for every £200 you save, the government will give you a bonus of £50.
The Government starts paying you the bonus when you've accumulated at least £1,600 in your account. The maximum bonus you can receive is £3,000. Once you have purchased a home and are near completion, you will need your solicitor to apply for your government bonus. The bonus must be included with the funds consolidated at the completion of the property transaction.
The bonus cannot be used for the deposit due at the exchange of contracts, to pay for solicitor’s, estate agent’s fees or any other indirect costs associated with buying a home.
