Conveyancing Fees: Don’t pay more than you have to

Buying a property is an expensive business. In fact, it is likely to be the single biggest purchase you will ever make and that makes it all the more important that you should try to save as much money on the costs of buying a house as possible. One such area in which it is possible to make savings without settling for a lesser service is in Conveyancing fees.

Conveyancing is, of course, an intrinsic part of the home buying process. So you cannot completely do away with Conveyancing fees; but you can choose to deal with Conveyancing companies who treat you well and charge a fair price for their services.

Unfortunately, in the UK, many Solicitors use underhanded tactics to ramp up the prices of Conveyancing fees. They do this by adding extra hidden charges to the cost of Conveyancing fees that their clients were unaware of. This has led to many shocked clients getting huge bills for their Conveyancing fees, which they have not factored into the cost of their move. They do this by adding fees such as admin charges and completion fees.

If you want to avoid these hidden charges being added to your Conveyancing fees, then you should try to find a reputable Conveyancing company who offer a fixed fee for their services. There are a few companies out there who are totally up front with the cost of Conveyancing fees. They are also the companies who generally charge fairer prices too, so you get a good deal all round with fixed price Conveyancing fees.

Conveyancing Quotes

Another trick that is often used is by companies is to offer Conveyancing quotes that are actually estimates. This means that they can charge you much more for your Conveyancing fees than you may think you will be paying. So, when looking for the right company to deal with your Conveyancing, be sure to get a quote rather than an estimate, so you know exactly where you stand and you should have few problems and save a little cash along the way.
