When taking conveyancing direct from the lawyer recommended by your estate agent you may not be getting the best deal on your conveyancing. Your estate agent will usually earn a referrer fee (often in the region of £100) if you choose to instruct the lawyer that they recommend you direct your conveyancing matter to.

Although you may be choosing the best conveyancing lawyer in your area, there is no reason to believe that you are getting the best value for money just because you took you conveyancing direct to them. Because conveyancing can be completed by a lawyer without any need for you to actually visit their offices, you can choose a firm based anywhere in the country. This means that you can make the a choice based on both the quality of service the lawyer has provided in the past, as well as the value for money they offer and take your conveyancing direct to them.

You can use the internet to get a wide range of conveyancing quotes from many of the leading conveyancing firms in the country. Because you are taking your conveyancing direct to them you will not be paying any referrer fees to 'middle men' and subsequently will get good value for money conveyancing.

Many conveyancing firms now offer free online tracking of your conveyancing matter. This can monitor the progress of your conveyancing matter direct from your PC, with no need to call the lawyer for regular updates. This is a great solution if you want an easy way to keep an eye on how your lawyer is proceeding with your conveyancing matter.
