There are many factors to take into account when choosing your conveyancing team for buying or selling a property. Although many depend on what you are personally asking for and your needs, choosing the right conveyancing solicitor based on their reputation and service levels can give you more chances of a successful purchase or sale, and can even save you money and time.
Here are 4 things to consider when picking conveyancing solicitors to help you make the best choice:
Check their credentials
This might sound simple, but many people choose their solicitors without ever even asking about their solicitor’s experience and credentials. Experienced solicitors are better equipped to handle your conveyancing and requirements. Any good established law firm and conveyancing team will be able to demonstrate their expertise to you.

Do they provide a full breakdown of their fees?
Here at Scott Rees & Co, we have always been very open about our prices and fees. If the law firm you are thinking of using doesn’t have a clear list of costs on their website, you will need to ask for a breakdown of their prices, fees, and extra costs.

Do they offer No Completion, No Fee?
With ‘no completion, no fee’ whether you are buying or selling property or both, if your transaction does not complete then we will not charge you for our fees. Nowadays with the increase of house sales and prices, this option will give you a piece of mind and a safety net if your purchase or sale falls through.
The option of ‘no completion, no fee’ also means you only need to pay us on the completion date of your transaction.
Do they offer a contactless conveyancing service?
These days a contactless service has many benefits, and if the whole conveyancing process can be completed by letter, email or phone that will give you more time to take care of all the other tasks of moving while you can easily monitor everything online.
