Why having an eagle-eyed conveyancer overseeing your property transaction is so important.
Checking forms with a fine-tooth comb is part of our raison d’etre as specialist and extremely experienced conveyancing solicitors.
And thank goodness one of our team was as eagle-eyed as ever, spotting that an important proof of identity form which needed to be approved by a Notary Public (a qualified lawyer) had in fact been signed off by the landlord of the local pub!
An amusing story and an innocent mistake but one, which if it had gone unnoticed, could have slowed down the property transaction in question causing unnecessary stress and anxiety for all concerned.
Why does using a conveyancing specialist make such a difference?
When you are buying a property, probably the biggest investment you’ll ever make, you want to know that every legal detail has been thoroughly checked to ensure there are no mistakes which could be costly for you later.
This includes extensive identity checks, running property searches and raising queries with the seller’s conveyancer arising from the search results and the property title documents.
The quality of the conveyancing process depends on the calibre of the conveyancing solicitors who carry it out. This is where Wards Solicitors stand out with a long and established reputation for expertise reflected in a consistently high number of personal recommendations and excellent satisfaction levels.
Are all Conveyancers the same?
The answer, sadly, is no. The most commonly cited problems include a failure to advise clients properly, failure to follow instructions, delays and poor cost information.
All our conveyancing specialists are trained to look at every detail of the legal process. We will keep you in the loop and keep the conveyancing process moving forward as swiftly as is safely possible.
Choosing a conveyancing specialist should be considered carefully.
We don’t expect to be the cheapest but we do strive to offer our clients quality legal advice at a fair cost – declared upfront from the start with no hidden extras – and, unusually in this day and age, we don’t pay estate agents, mortgage brokers or anyone else for referring conveyancing work to us.
Our conveyancing specialists all know their local housing market extremely well which is not always the case. In fact, many members of our team live in the same area as the office they work in.
