First of all, don't be taken in by online and high-street firms offering the ‘cheapest conveyancing quotes' without checking the details in the small print. Quite often, costs are hidden there, making you liable to an unexpectedly inflated legal bill at the end of your move. Such extra charges need to be fair and clearly stated, so that stressed home-movers don’t miss anything. At Homeward Legal, we never hide any costs, and our quotes provide clear statements of your legal fees and disbursements for a standard conveyancing transaction.

The answer to this question is straightforward: the earlier you can appoint your solicitor, the better. This is because doing so can reduce the likelihood of the transaction stalling. In addition, if you are selling, your solicitor will have all the information ready for any buyer to make an offer. If you’re buying somewhere, your solicitor can initiate the searches and other conveyancing tasks thus reducing the duration of your conveyancing.
With Homeward Legal, a purchase conveyancing client will be required to pay no more than £249 for the conveyancing searches. Searches are paid out to a third party, and will not be included in a quote for solicitor's fees. Homeward Legal’s quotes make the distinction between these sorts of costs (or disbursements) and the conveyancing fee.
