Solicitor recommendation


SMURPHY71

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Does anyone have any recommendations (or nightmares you think best avoided!) for solicitors for property? My neighbour and I are looking for someone to perform the conveyancing on the purchase of our property's freehold. We were using a local one (I won't name names out of fear as they are lawyers after all!), but their sluggishness and general disinterest has rather put us off them, so we thought we'd try elsewhere.


Many thanks

We're also looking for a conveyancing solicitor. I've had one quote in at over 1k for sale (about 500k share of freehold flat) and another 1k+ for purchase (around 350-400k house). Is that normal?! Last time we used a cheap company in Kent, but they were a bit useless. Is it worth paying extra to have it all done locally?


I've just emailed William Bailey to request a quote from them. I was going to email Hepburns but they don't have an email address on their website which seems very old school so has put me off!

    • Using the smart CCTV cameras is your best strategy - particularly if they have adequate infra-red capability. Setting them to be triggered by line crossing or areas of intrusion is worthwhile setting up as is linking them to a PIR sensor. The PIR could also be used to activate a sounder but that might upset your other neighbours. I have a few cameras around our property and I enjoy reviewing the recordings and apart from foxes and birds, I catch the occasional opportunistic thief on camera - like this one last Tuesday. If you need any help, please drop me a PM. S7.mp4
    • Not in Ed, but I was in NE England over the weekend and saw an otter in the wild! Never seen one before, it was quite lovely.
    • Well unless the heron got them later, there were the  two cootlets. I think some others of this year's babies must have escaped the heron. Many years ago (and possibly still, though I never see them any more) there was a whole heron family on the island  - mum, dad and youngster. I don't know how long herons live. Maybe this one is the grown up youngster.
