While many firms state that they offer 'the cheapest conveyancing quotes', this may not be as straightforward or as cheap as it initially looks, because additional costs are often hiding in the small print. Such extra charges need to be fair and clearly stated.
At Homeward Legal, we never hide any costs, and our quotes provide a clear statement of your legal fees for a standard conveyancing transaction. Try our quote calculator, or call our team of conveyancing experts on 0800 038 6699 to discuss your needs.
Your assigned property lawyer will order a variety of searches as standard for your transaction, including an environmental search. This latter will incorporate a review of the level of historical risk associated with your house and the area surrounding it. When the results come back, and should the level of risk be significant and therefore demand it, your lawyer will then instigate a more in-depth search of the flood risk to the area.
If you are anxious you could try to approach a neighbour or local resident. Or you could contact a local Wales flood repair builder.
Yes. Indeed we are. Our niche panel of auction solicitors are specialists with a vast array of experience in representing buyers and sellers at both local and national property auctions. Shrewd auction-goers will know that the best tactic is to appoint a conveyancer as soon as possible, and well before the auction day, so that all the legal paperwork may be reviewed and sorted out. Then, as soon as the auction is finished, they will be fully briefed and can then complete the conveyancing within the statutory timeframe of four weeks or earlier.
