Local conveyancing solicitor
Local conveyancing solicitor, property lawyer or licensed conveyancer?
When you search for licensed conveyancing solicitors near me, you may well wonder about the title of the legal professional you're looking to hire. Would property lawyers in Oundle be more appropriate? How about just 'conveyancer near me'?
Day-to-day, the vast majority of legal tasks required for a house move are carried out by several different people termed 'paralegals' and/or 'property conveyancers'. These terms refer to the fact that these professionals do not have formal membership - and qualifications - required to be either a solicitor, licensed conveyancer or legal executive.
Many of these individuals have many years of experience and keep your costs down by skilfully completing work at a lower rate than the solicitor who oversees the case, takes ultimate responsibility and signs-off the work.
In contrast, a qualified solicitor acting in the conveyancing field has the general training that a solicitor has - e.g. in employment law - but has chosen to specialise in conveyancing. They have to be a member of the Law Society in order to practise.

1. Get a mortgage in principle
Know what you can afford to save wasting time on any false starts.
2. Instruct your conveyancing solicitor before you make your offer
Waiting until your offer is accepted can delay your transaction. As early as possible, inform them of any details, such as gifted deposits. An online service reduces snail mail delays and waiting for physical meetings, which can be conducted by video call.
3. Apply for your mortgage quickly
You can submit your application as soon as your offer is accepted. An independent broker can help speed this along.
4. Order your searches and surveys
Ordering these early can speed up your conveyancing process, especially if local authorities face delays. However, it is usually considered prudent to time this with the rest of your chain if a transaction falls through.
5. Get your building insurance ready
You'll need insurance from the exchange so research & compare insurance quotes, once your solicitor is instructed.
6. Paperwork (When selling)
Ensure you have your paperwork, including energy performance & FENSA certificates.

What are the conveyancing costs?
Oundle Conveyancing Solicitor fees vary between online conveyancing solicitors, high street conveyancers or housing solicitors introduced by your estate agent.
The actual conveyancing costs, outside of the legal work, should be fixed, including:
For buyers: stamp duty, land registration, property searches, ID searches and leasehold charges (if buying a leasehold property).
For sellers: office copies, title plan and management information (if selling a leasehold property).
Make sure to budget for all of the above conveyancing costs and to get a fixed fee conveyancing quote from several firms, to compare value.
Making the right choice of solicitor is key to the whole process:
- Cheap Conveyancing
- Fast Conveyancing
- Best Conveyancing Service
Do you need to have a survey?
When you buy a property with a mortgage, you have to book and pay for your lender's mortgage valuation. This is:
- Not the same as a RICS Home Buyers Survey
- Done on behalf of the lender, not you, and is about ensuring the property value is in keeping with your proposed mortgage sum
- Only cursory about checking for defects.
We advise every home buyer to get a RICS home buyers survey when they're looking to buy a property. When you're thinking of committing to spending what is normally at least hundreds of £1,000s on a property, it surely makes sense to have it checked for potential defects by an expert who is purely working for your best interests.
If your surveyor has suspicions of defects such as subsidence, they note them in a report and this can be used to bargain with the vendor for contributions towards remedy which may mean a lower selling price or you may even decide to pull out entirely.
Additionally, if your surveyor fails to spot a defect which subsequently becomes apparent and costly to remedy, they are answerable to claims and all carry indemnity insurance covering the full value of the property in question.
