Selling or buying a home with our Frome Conveyancing Solicitors
Frome is a picturesque town situated 13 miles south of Bath, 43 miles east of Taunton (the county town) and 25 miles southeast of Bristol. Until 1650, Frome was the largest town in Somerset, with a larger population than Bath. The economy of the town grew due to its success in the wool and cloth industry. This industry was overtaken by the metal-working and printing industries which have still not left the town.
There is transport available to Bath, Bristol, Warminster and further afield from the town which means often people live in this pleasant town and commute into the larger cities and settlements for work.
Entertainment in the town includes the Frome festival which runs each summer, the two theatres and the cinema. The two theatres are the Memorial Theatre and the Merlin Theatre; additionally there is a pub theatre which is the only one within the county.

Somerset is a county in south-west England and is mainly rural with rolling hills. These include the Mendips, the Quantocks, Exmoor National Park and the Blackdown Hills, all of which are well worth a leisurely visit. Somerset is synonymous with cider and scrumpy, particularly in the Taunton area. The county is made up from seven districts; South Somerset, Taunton Deane, West Somerset, Sedgemoor, Mendip, Bath and North East Somerset and North Somerset. The county town is Taunton and the county also contains the beautiful city of Bath (which is its own administrative authority), with its celebrated Roman remains and excellent architecture. Adjacent counties include Gloucestershire, Bristol, Wiltshire, Dorset and Devon.
There are 3 universities in the ceremonial county; these are the University of Bath, Bath Spa University and the University of the West of England. The nearest airport is in Bristol and the M5 is the one motorway going through the county.
Other excellent places to visit there include Cheddar Gorge (yes, Cheddar cheese does come from here, invented by accident around 800 years ago!), Wookey Hole Caves and Glastonbury Tor.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Frome 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

What happens after you instruct your conveyancing solicitor?
Once you've instructed your solicitor for your move, they take your required deposit and send you a Care Pack with their terms and charges and forms for you to fill in regarding ID (and proof of funds if you're buying).
They communicate with your seller's solicitor to confirm that you've instructed them to act on your behalf and request the seller's pack (includes a copy of the draft contract, property information forms etc.).
You are given a copy of the draft contract to go through and can raise questions or concerns with your solicitor. Your solicitor as well as checking over the contract and property information forms etc., also scrutinises the property searches returned, if you've booked them, and your home buyers survey report, if you've booked it and gives you an appraisal based on their findings.
If you have any queries, your solicitor can frame these, along with any other questions they've formed, into enquiries which are passed back to the seller's solicitor, who looks to provide answers to them, and the process continues until there are no more enquiries, at which point the process progresses to the exchange of contracts phase.
