Going for a lawyer firm advertising what they call 'the cheapest conveyancing quotes' may not be the wisest move. Some lawyers provide quotes for the basics but there are disbursement costs and other fees 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 offer 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.
The best and most essential tactic you can employ to ensure fast conveyancing is to instruct a proactive and a readily-communicative lawyer. When considering who to select, you should also weigh up the following questions:
Homeward Legal offers this and more. Our fixed-fee quotes are clearly laid out so you know what you’re paying, while our solicitors are trained to communicate with everyone in the chain to ensure swift resolution of issues, supported by cutting-edge technology and systems.
Gazumping arises when a buyer's offer is rejected by the seller, following initial acceptance, in favour of a greater offer. In the nature of the business of moving house, there will always be a risk of gazumping happening in any transaction, because offers are not binding until the exchange of contracts. Instructing your conveyancing solicitor as soon as you can is a key first step to reducing this risk. Call Homeward Legal’s team of conveyancing experts on 0800 038 6699 to discuss your needs.
The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors strongly advise that you instruct a building surveyor to carry out a structural survey. There are many defects that will impact a property, regardless of its age, which may create issues with the transaction further down the line. Such structural issues will not be considered during the conveyancing work itself.

Comparing quotes is not always straightforward, given the various definitions and jargon that different firms use to describe the same thing. This charge (a cost incurred to check your liability for funding repairs of a local church) is a disbursement and not a fee, and is passed on at cost. Homeward Legal’s quotes make the distinction between fees and disbursements very clear.
A solicitor could recommend a chancel search. Chancel repair dues can be collected on the current owners of a property where Parochial Church Councils have not imposed the same liability on the last owners. Even if liability is unlikely, indemnity insurance is a sensible precaution.
The standard procedure is to obtain Local Authority (personal or official), Drainage and Water Search (CON29DW or personal), Environmental and Coal Mining (Con29M) and, depending on certain criteria, unique particular e.g. a Chancel check Search.
