Property Solicitors near me
Before the internet finding conveyancing solicitors near me would have meant to consult your local phone book or just to take a walk down your local high street to find your conveyancer near me.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 within their conveyancing solicitors fees. Nowadays, the legal process can be completed without face to face meetings, using online ID checks and new ID process.
Old School?
We would argue that modern electronic checking procedures are more rigorous and reliable and certainly faster. Although local knowledge becomes critical when choosing your RICS surveyor for a home buyers survey, your solicitor in all cases, whether they're a 'conveyancing solicitor near me' or based 200 miles away will carry out their work by processing documents and forms, virtually all of which can be obtained and/or transmitted electronically.
There is no need for them to be based locally and you'll usually find that conveyancer near me will charge extra for business conducted 'in person' - such as ID checking - and that their time is better spent focusing on the paperwork. 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.

As soon as your offer is accepted, you can submit your application. An independent broker can help speed this along.4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.5. Get your building insurance ready

Why should you double check your solicitors' bank account details?
Cybercrime is on the rise generally and criminals often actively target the conveyancing sector, because of the transfers of comparatively large sums of money which are associated with it.
A particular scam you should be aware of, because there have been a number of victims, runs like this. Hackers attack a law firm's IT systems to get details of home purchasing clients at the point of completion.
The hackers then send emails which look like authentic ones from the law firm which give a bogus bank account which they request the client pays their completion money into. There have been cases where people have lost more than £70,000 in this way.
The simplest way to protect yourself is never to make a transfer of funds if you receive a suspicious email or phone call telling you that your solicitor's bank details have changed.
