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.

Is the property over 5 storeys (11m)?
Many leasehold properties in Bloxwich are in large buildings which now require an EWS1 certificate to confirm if the cladding is fire safe. Thankfully 2022's leaseholder protections mean that most leaseholders are not burdened with the cost of remediation of any defective cladding, but you will need to see the seller's Deed of Certificate to prove that the lease doesn't come with a nasty (and expensive) surprise.
Be particularly wary of purchasing a share of freehold as the freeholders may become liable for the cost of remedying defective cladding. Our specialist leasehold solicitors Bloxwich are well experienced with handling all of these added complications, so you will be in safe hands with SAM. Property Challenges Solved.

- 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.

What does a solicitor do for you when buying a property?
Your solicitor's main job when you're buying a property is to review the legal title and find out if there are any issues which could stop you from buying the property or reselling it in future.
To do this, your solicitor studies the deeds and title, inspects local council property searches and acts on any significant findings from your home buyers survey if you've had one done (always recommended). They send enquiries to your vendor via their solicitor and continue to do so until satisfied with their responses.
