Is local best?

OK, so it's time to sell and / or purchase a property, and you need to choose a solicitor to undertake your conveyancing. The big question is: do you find a local solicitor, with a local office or do you use a national solicitor?

The obvious advantage to using a local solicitor is that you can meet face to face, but that's just about where the advantages end. There are no aspects to conveyancing that require you to be physically present during the process. Documents can be signed then faxed or put in the post. All other communication can be done by telephone or email. Most national conveyancers provide excellent case tracking facilities, and will keep you up-to-date with progress. The national conveyancers are highly experienced, and will usually cost far less than using a local firm.

How you can help speed up the conveyancing process

Although many factors will be out of your control, you could consider the following:

1. Inform your estate agent that you have appointed somebody to act for you as soon as possible and pass the agent those contact details.
   
2. Get confirmation that the other party has instructed a solicitor through your estate agent.
   
3. Pay over any search fees and similar monies requested by the conveyancer as soon as you can.
   
4. Provide your mortgage account number to the conveyancer as soon as you can.
   
5. Return any acceptance forms or similar to your lender as soon as possible. 
   
6. Inform all parties if you are think that you may be difficult to contact at any time during the completion stages (holiday etc).
