How to minimise your chance of getting a useless conveyancer....

thanks for the DM you have chosen really well there.

and shortly I'll do a thread for avoiding a useless Estate Agent - you know who you are.

lawyer means nothing ask if they are a solicitor

Sorry, TimmyT, but as a solicitor I do know some very good licensed conveyancers and even glorified secretaries in some local firms who do know what they are doing.

OK, criticise the call centre operations but I don't think it is fair to criticise local firms who use experienced but non-qualified staff who do know what they are doing, and generally have a solicitor behind them if something gets really complicated.

Titleist's latest fairway wood showcases the same adjustable technology found in its 910D series driver. The "SureFit Tour" hosel with "dual angle technology" enables you to adjust loft and lie independently of each other, so you can alter loft without affecting lie, or vice versa. The payoff: It's so simple to custom-fit this club to your desired trajectory (high, medium or low), spin rate, and shot shape (fade or draw). Titleist also offers the low-spin 910 F-d (13.5° or 15° loft), which is geared for tee shots and produces a penetrating flight.

Nearly as interesting than the OP.

Now where do I stick this golfclub?:cool:

that is fine, but you should not be charged anywhere close to the same fee. £550 for say £250k purchase by a solicitor. Half that for unqualfied....as after all, they are not a professional.

But some firms mislead and you think you have a solicitor but you don't, yet you pay as much. Bad bad bad.

We refuse to give clients other than solicitor or legal executive and no one joins team who is not. We also charge less than glorified secretaries and licensed conveyancers ( I never mention this group) in other firms - and my firm is well known for excellence.

Smart money gets qualified, as it's about making sure the client gets the best, not how the legal firm can save money at the expense of the client.

And home buying impacts other areas of law - wills, estate planning, matrimonial law, children, trusts, business law - and you take the risk by using unqualified who may not be as widely trained as a solicitor and legal executive.

I so frequently see it.

WE WILL never give clients a perception or factually second best for their money. Neither do many other firms who agree with my position.
