Choosing The Right Solicitor For Your House Move

We all know that moving house can be one of the
most stressful times of our lives - it's up there
with divorce and having a baby - so why not make
sure that you get off on the right foot by
choosing your conveyancing solicitor wisely and
ensuring that they are well placed to do the best
possible job for you and achieve your desired
outcome with as little stress as possible.

Experience
Do your research (this has been made easier by
all the information now available on the
internet) and make sure that you choose a
solicitor who is very experienced in conveyancing
matters and who specialises in that area of law.
If you choose a solicitor who 'generalises' -
i.e. who takes on all types of cases, not just
conveyancing - there is a greater chance that
important, less obvious factors may be missed.

Solicitors fees
Moving house can be a costly process and you
should make sure you are aware of all of the
costs you are likely to face. Again, the internet
will prove to be a useful tool to enable you to
quickly compare solicitors' conveyancing fees.
If the fees are not quoted on the solicitors'
website then a quick phone call should give you
the information you need.

Recommendation
Word of mouth is always a good indication as to
whether a solicitor should be used (or avoided).
If you know somebody who has recently moved
house, even if they are not based near you
geographically, ask them about their experience
with their solicitor - i.e. was he/she slow,
efficient, personable and most importantly, would
your friend recommend them.
6
Ease of contact
You will need to have regular contact with your
solicitor throughout the process of moving house
so ensure that you instruct somebody with whom
you feel comfortable talking to and are not
afraid to ask them questions about how your
transaction is progressing.
A good conveyancing solicitor will be efficient
(i.e. keep on top of what is required of him/her
and return your calls and emails promptly),
personable and reliable.
