What is the difference between a solicitor and a conveyancer?

Solicitors and conveyancers can both manage the legal work associated with buying and selling homes. The difference is that solicitors can also work in other areas of the law, while licensed conveyancers only work with property transactions. Solicitors may be more expensive – but not always. As solicitors work on other types of legal cases, they may need to attend court on occasions, and not be available to respond to your queries – but, again, this isn’t always the case. For complex sales you may need a solicitor with specific experience of the issues involved.

Does my conveyancer need to be local?

Not necessarily, especially if it’s a simple transaction. But there are advantages to having a Rochdale conveyancing solicitor. They are close by if you need to sign or deliver documents. They also know the area well and are used to dealing with local authorities, other conveyancing firms and estate agents. This can be a benefit in a property chain or other complex situation where local knowledge and connections can speed things along.

What does a good conveyancer do?

Your conveyancer handles all the legal aspects of your property sale and purchase including local authority and environmental searches, drawing up your contract and liaising with your buyer’s (and seller’s) solicitor, as well as managing exchange and completion.
