Discussion

grey area to say the least.

anyone had any dealings with them at all for their conveyancing needs? seem a fair bit cheaper than local firms which raises questions?
thanks

Leeb,
1. Google isnt a great guide when it comes to choosing legal firms. They might be great at search engine optimisation and piss poor at conveyancing.
2. A mate heard they are ok is also not good. You want a recommendation from someone who has actually used them, and who thought they were great or at worst better than adequate.
3. They'll be cheaper because of either the large volume of business they do, or possibly because they use legal conveyancing staff rather than full solicitors.
If memory serves there are a few legal beagles on PH, not all into conveyancing. Rude-boy I think does do conveyancing though, drop him a PM.

nice one, thanks a lot.
i am not so naive to think the largest ad = best at job
reason why i posted here is it is a target market for exactly that, web searches for companies, and i think that here is a fairly likely place to get such opinions and experiences.
thanks for the heads up tho. will have a look, ta

As one of the legal beagles (woof) my view is that there is no substitute for a bit of local knowledge and actually going to see the property.
Example: friends of my parents bought their house some years back. Access to the garage is over an alley at the side which leads past the house to the local park. The alley is owned by the local council
A few years ago the Council started demanding money for use of the access. The solicitor who did the conveyancing had no idea there was a garage on the property as there was nothing on the plans to show the existence of anything other than the house. This couple were inexperienced in buying property and didn't know to flag it up and get him to check the access rights
Luckily we managed to piece together the history and got together some information to show that the garage had been there over forty years so they had a right of way through long use. We seem to have managed to get the Council to back down and if these people ever sell they will be able to get insurance to cover the lack of paper title. We got it sorted out but it was more luck than good conveyancing
The idea that cut price conveyancing can save you money works in about 99% of cases. If you want to take the 1% risk that yours is the one that goes tits up then go for it.
It might have been a bad year but in 2006 I had to deal with four total f
k ups by solicitors who should have known better. There are no guarantees but I would rather deal with someone (a) who was recommended to me and (b) whose door/desk/head I could go and bang on if I felt the need

Like you I was extremely tempted to go with an online conveyancer but opted to pay £300 more for a firm of solicitors, who I've used before years ago, and the conveyenacing solicitor was a partner in the solicitors so his neck was on the line if anything went wrong (which it didn't!).
I also opted for this particular solicitor because he stipulated in the agreement that he personally deals with all the conveyancing of your property and not palm it off to a conveyancing secretary which I've been told online and even local firms of solicitors do.
