Why Choose an Online Conveyancer for your Conveyancing?

The Traditional Approach to Conveyancing

Traditionally, when buying or selling a Property people would appoint their local or family solicitor (who is a ‘jack of all trades’ in respect of the law, knowing a little about many areas of law but nothing substantial about any one area of law) to carry out the Conveyancing  required for their sale or purchase.  The solicitors would charge by the hour and take months to complete the Conveyancing . Often it is several months after the purchase or when  you come to sell the property, that you become aware of what has not been done or has been missed, often because the solicitor did not have the depth of knowledge in Property Law and  that is required to carry out the Conveyancing thoroughly.  Overall using a small, local solicitor to carry out the required for your sale or purchase  is expensive and most times, inefficient. You may believe that a local solicitor is one that you can pop in and see regularly – wrong, you may see the secretary and on the rare occasions that you are able to have a meeting with them… they charge by the hour!

What Extra Does Using an Online Conveyancer Add to Your Conveyancing?

What is needed is a solicitor who is an expert in Property Law, experienced in Property Law, dedicated to Property Law who will carry out the required Conveyancing efficiently and thoroughly,  and does not charge the earth!  A firm that will always keep you up to date and that gives you access to check the progress of your transaction 24/7. Is this possible? Yes! – Online Conveyancing.

More and more solicitors are offering online Conveyancing services. The services they offer include:

•  A Fixed Fee guarantee - this means that you will be told the fee for the Conveyancing at the beginning of the transaction and this fee will not change – there will be no extra legal fees added. This way you know exactly what you need to spend out in legal fees from the beginning.
•  A ‘no move- no fee’ service. This means that if the transaction does not proceed to completion (for example the other party pull out) you do not have to pay any legal fees for the Conveyancing that has been carried out on your behalf.  You may still have to pay for disbursements (these are fees paid out by the solicitors to third parties on your behalf for example, title deeds and Conveyancing services)
• The provision of instant online quote for the required Conveyancing.
• A case tracking system, whereby their system will email you or text you to let you know every time something happens or work at each stage of the Conveyancing for your transaction.   You can also log in and find out how matters are progressing, 24/7.
• Direct contact with the solicitor responsible for carrying out the Conveyancing for your transaction, by email or telephone.
•  A large amount of experience and practice in purely Conveyancing matters and Property Law.
• Often lower Conveyancing fees than the traditional High Street solicitor  can offer for Conveyancing – largely because running their business online is less costly to run.

Beware of ‘Conveyancing Factories’

Beware though, do not confuse a solicitors firm that offers volume online Conveyancing services with the ‘Conveyancing Factories’. Conveyancing Factories are largely staffed with unqualified and poorly trained staff with call centres in other countries such as India and South Africa. Although they will often appear cheaper, however you will rarely speak to the same person twice, anyone you do get to speak to will probably have very little legal expertise.  The ratio of qualified staff to unqualified is very low. The system used by Conveyancing factories is very rigid and often designed around the most straight forward transaction – any Conveyancing matter that is  out of the ordinary will cause the system to come to a halt! Finally some of the largest Conveyancing factories are owned by estate agents and may not totally have your sole interests at heart!

Why Online Conveyancing is a Better Choice?

A law firm that offers online Conveyancing is definitely the best choice. You are far more likely to get qualified and experienced conveyancers, who specialise in Property Law and who will carry out the required Conveyancing efficiently and thoroughly.  You will be kept up to date with the progress of your transaction and will be able to check the progress 24/7. The legal fees  for the Conveyancing will be reasonable and in the form of a fixed fee, so you know what the Conveyancing  fees will be and  you will have to pay from the start, and not have the fear of being charged extra every time you speak to your solicitor. You will be able to contact your solicitor and receive documents by email. As every thing can be handled on line, you do not have to make time to see your solicitor.
