Cheapconveyancingquotes.co.uk say positive signs are beginning to show for UK conveyancing firms as the number of houses
changing hands jumped by 17% in July 2009.
Nathan Jones a Spokesman for Cheap Conveyancing Quotes says "with so many firms now offering conveyaning services it is
essential that customers understand the basic conveyancing facts, like how fees are structured. That is why we have
constructed a basic, no legal jargon, guide to conveyancing.”
“If you have had an offer accepted on a property you should contact a conveyancing solicitor with the full details of this transaction
as soon as possible. Your estate agent will also need the details of the conveyancing solicitors acting on your behalf. At this point
your solicitor will open a file for your transaction and contact the other solicitors involved in the process.”
“Your solicitor should provide you with a full quote for the work to be completed. At this stage you should receive a client care letter which details your conveyancing quote. Your quote price should not change unless there are changes to the work or conveyancing transaction that is taking place. Your solicitor should contact you and advise of any changes before you incur any further and
additional costs to your original conveyancing quote.”
“If your property transaction falls through and you no longer require a conveyancing service your solicitor may return and money
you have paid. However any money you have paid for third party services like a Home Information Pack will not be refundable.”
Nathan Jones continued “Your conveyancing quotation will detail the solicitors conveyancing fee, this is the fee they charge for
this service, together with the VAT charged and any land registry fees or search fees. Any purchase and remortgage must now
be registered with HML Registry and fees for this service should be included in your conveyancing quote.”
“With new property purchases the house builder will most likely charge a fee for providing these legal documents to you.”

This was my first house move so I was anxious about the whole process. I was provided with a competitive quote and I was able to speak to a conveyancing solicitor right from the start. An excellent service that I would recommend to anyone.
