How do I find the best conveyancing solicitor?

To find the best conveyancing solicitor, you should first make sure they’re regulated by the SRA, CLC, LSS, LSNI or CILEx.

They should also have good reviews to give you that extra peace of mind. All of our conveyancing partners with Compare My Move have their reviews showcased on their partner page to help make your decision.

Is it better to use a local solicitor for conveyancing?

A local conveyancer or solicitor will have a better understanding of the local area, but it’s not vital to limit your search to just a local conveyancer.

As the conveyancing searches, such as the local authority search, are carried out by your local authority, your conveyancer won’t need a great amount of local knowledge.

However, if you have to visit their office to sign papers and transfer money, then it would be more appropriate that you use a local conveyancer.

How much should I pay a solicitor for conveyancing?

The average conveyancing fees for buying a house are £1,040 and you can expect to pay £1,000 in conveyancing costs for selling a house.

These are just average costs and your true conveyancing costs will vary depending on the value of your home, your solicitor’s legal fee and if you're buying or selling a freehold or leasehold property.
