How to Choose the Right Conveyancer

Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring ownership of a property from seller to buyer, along with all the associated legal and administrative work. It is undertaken either by solicitors (registered with the Law Society) or specialist providers called licensed conveyancers (registered with the Council of Licensed Conveyancers). A good conveyancer can make the process as quick as possible, reduce the risk of the sale falling through, and minimise your stress and anxiety levels. Unfortunately the quality of conveyancing is extremely variable. Worse still, paying a premium price is no guarantee of quality. Apparently respectable providers use some very questionable tactics to hide charges in their estimate which are then added to your final bill.
