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.

1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false-starts.2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting till after your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. Using an online service cuts down on snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
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
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.
Cornwall is the most south-westerly county in England and is surrounded by water on three sides, touching only Devon county by land. It was traditionally associated with tin mining and fishing, but nowadays the main economic activity in the county is tourism. The county town and only city is Truro. Other towns include Falmouth, Camborne and Redruth. Cornwall is a peninsula with no motorways, few trunk roads (A39 and A30 are among them), a limited railway network and a small airport in Newquay. The main transport hub is Truro and both Truro and Penzance have some direct railway services to London Paddington.
Cornwall has some beautiful coastal villages and towns including, for example, St Ives and Falmouth. Land's End is a popular tourist destination and is the starting point for people tackling the journey, whether on foot, bike or motorbike, to John O'Groats, the most northerly village in Scotland.
There is one university, Falmouth University, as well as sites of the University of Exeter. Cornwall is a place of many festivals - there are frequent festivals at the Lizard, for example, and Porthcurno is the site of the Minack Theatre, an open-air amphitheatre, constructed above a gully with a rocky granite outcrop jutting into the sea. Surfing is also very popular in the county.

Why do you need a No Sale No Fee guarantee?
Although the majority of conveyancing transactions complete, as much as a third do not, for a variety of reasons. Gazumping and gazundering are still facts of life and a surveyor's findings can sometimes make a prospective buyer pull out before exchange of contracts, for example.
The beauty of our No Sale No Fee guarantee is that you can rest assured that you can either find another property to buy as a purchaser or find another buyer for your property as a seller and won't be charged for the work done to that point.
