Reasons to use our Easton conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Easton property lawyers work in partnership with Easton estate agents, house builders, surveyors, banks and other professionals to make sure that a quality service is provided to buyers and sellers every step of the way, helping make the process as straightforward as possible
  • 2 Using a local Solicitor on the whole results in a more bespoke service. Online forums often suggest that in selecting a large conveyancing firm, your transaction is handled by a team of people who who progress matters by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 3 This site is the first site offering you the ability to check that your conveyancing in Easton will be carried out by a solicitor on your lender’s member panel.
  • 4 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Easton is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 5 Notwithstanding what alternative lawyers inform you it could be necessary to attend your solicitor to execute documents. There are enough parties engaged in a house sale without having to include Royal Mail into the pot.

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Easton surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Easton

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Easton conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by head office.

22 days into a sale of a flat in Easton. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged a fortune from the landlord. So far we have forked out £275 for a leasehold management pack and then another £134.40 for answers to queries raised by the purchaser's property lawyer.

You will not have any say over the extent of the bill for this information but the typical fee for the information for Easton leasehold premises is £360. When it comes to Easton conveyancing transactions it is standard for the owner to cover the charges. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions although many will be content to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no legislation that mandates set fees for administrative tasks. There is no prescriptive time limit by which they are duty bound to provide answers.
