I am very satisfied with your service thank you so much.
Here, we give our top tips for what to look out for to ensure your solicitor has the skills and expertise required to do the job and will provide the levels of client care you deserve at an affordable cost. Those tips are as follows:
• Check Whether They Specialise In Conveyancing
When you enter ‘find a conveyancing solicitor’ into a search engine, the results it returns can be overwhelming. It’s important to invest time in reviewing the firms’ websites before deciding who to instruct. One key aspect to check for is that that they specialise in conveyancing work. If they don’t, they may lack the experience required to ensure a seamless, swift transaction.
At Bartletts, our residential conveyancing solicitors are experts in their field, and are committed to making the conveyancing process go smoothly for our clients. In addition to property sales and purchases, we have vast experience in all other areas of conveyancing law and practice, including lease extensions, low-cost unit schemes, and shared ownership leases.
• Check Whether They Have Any External Accreditations
External accreditations can be a strong indicator of a firm’s commitment to excellence. They demonstrate that the firm has met the highest standards of expertise and client care in a specific legal practice area.
Our residential conveyancing team are accredited by the Law Society for Conveyancing Quality. The Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme is recognised as the quality standard for residential conveyancing practices. To achieve accreditation, we had to demonstrate our compliance with various standards, including conveyancing protocol, practice management, and client service. Accordingly, when you instruct us, you can be certain of the very best legal advice and exceptional client care.
• Check How They Will Charge You For Their Work
Understanding how a solicitor will charge you for their work is crucial for effective planning and budgeting. Some solicitors charge on an hourly basis, whereby you pay the solicitor for their time by the hour. Others may agree to undertake the work on a fixed fee basis, whereby you agree a fee for the job at the outset.
We understand that when you are spending significant sums on buying a new property, the additional costs you need to pay your solicitors can be a cause for concern. However, the conveyancing process is complex and can be full of pitfalls for the unwary. Working with experienced residential conveyancing solicitors like ours will ensure you navigate the transaction effectively and secure a swift completion, saving you time, stress, and money in the long run.
Our conveyancing solicitors typically work on a fixed fee basis, so you will be aware of your costs exposure from the outset and remain in control. We offer a free, no obligation quote, so you can discuss your matter with us, get a feel for how we work, and understand the level of costs you can expect when you instruct us. You can obtain your quote by telephoning or emailing our conveyancing team or visiting one of our offices.
• Check What Their Clients Say About Them
Reading about other clients’ experiences of a law firm can help you decide whether they are the right fit for you. We are proud to have received feedback from clients thanking us for our ‘impeccable’ conduct and manner, praising our ‘excellent service’, and noting our ‘excellent communication throughout’.
