Find out conveyancing costs and fees

The main thing about choosing a conveyancer is trust. You need to know that you can trust the professional to carry out their work in the right way. This means working with a well-established name in the market, choosing a conveyancer with lots of great reviews from their previous clients and selecting a team with all the accreditations and qualifications needed to make sure your transaction is a success.

Generally, if you're buying a home, your conveyancer will want proof of funds. This is documentary proof that you can afford to take the property on and complete the purchase. Additionally, you may be asked to show proof that you will be able to receive a mortgage - if the buyer can't get a mortgage, the transaction grinds to a halt, so this is important! 

Proof of identification is also essential. Your conveyancer will ask for documents such as a driver's licence, passport and/or birth certificate. You may need other documentation too, but this will vary on a case-by-case basis. 

You certainly should hire a conveyancing buying expert to handle this process. In some cases, you may be allowed to handle conveyancing yourself, even if you have no experience in the property field and no legal expertise. 

Not hiring a professional property conveyancer could lead to spending more in the long run as you disentangle the complex problems that can arise when buying a property. You may even find there is a danger of the whole transaction falling through. It is always better to work with a professional you can trust - professionals just like us!
