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.

Solicitor or Licenced Conveyancer?

Solicitors are regulated by the Law Society. They commonly practice many areas of law, in addition to conveyancing.

Licensed Conveyancers are regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers and specialise only in conveyancing. Some Licensed Conveyancers are in fact Solicitors who have Licensed Conveyancer status.

The processes and consumer protection standards are the same for either type of representation.
