Conveyancing Charges

Choosing a solicitor to help you move house can be a minefield. How do you get the right one? Do I need someone local? Can they email me queries because I work 9 to 5?

Or does it really matter - aren't all solicitors the same?

At Bradshaw Hollingsworth Solicitors, we think that picking the right solicitor is very important for you. Remember - you probably won't spend more on any other purchase in your life, so get a solicitor that is helpful, available to you when you need to ask questions and gives value for money.

We represent clients throughout Leicester and Leicestershire, but many of our clients are outside Leicestershire, since we communicate with them by email and telephone so that we fit around their working day, rather than the other way around. Many of our clients are buying and selling houses around London, so we can act on house sales and purchases anywhere in England and Wales.

Also remember to find out what any quotation you receive from a solicitor includes. Does it include checking the mortgage offer or filling in the land tax return? You sometimes find that the "cheapest quote" has added extras over and above the headline figure that you thought you were paying, which can mean that the final bill is more than you expect.

When you ask for a quotation, get it in writing. We email all our conveyancing quotes to our clients and prospective clients so you can see from day one what the final bill will be.

Who will be dealing with your house purchase or sale? Is it a solicitor? Just because you are contacting a solicitors firm does not mean you have a solicitor looking after your house purchase.
