Hi,
can anyone advise on the merits or otherwise of using a remote firm of solicitors who specialise in conveyancing. Their fees are much lower than other quotes I have received £130!! and they say that they do exactly the same as every other firm of solicitors but do not need to charge the higher fees as they act remotely and do nothing else but conveyancing!!
I am just not sure....
thank you.

We used a firm like that when we brought our first house 6 years ago.
Our buyers used to complain that our solicitor was holding things up, when we spoke to them they denied it and blamed it on our buyers solicitor! It did take a lot of time for the fixture and fittings form to come through, our buyers sent us a copy in the end. Also I remember that when we had to sign the contracts they arrived on a saturday and they had to be back by the Monday so that we could complete when planned however this was a Bank Holiday! We had to do a mad dash around getting someone to witness them and get them back in the post special delivery before noon at a big branch. Then we kept our fingers crossed someone would get them Tuesday.
As we want a quick move this time and we are just selling we have decided to go with our family solicitor and pay the extra money.0 -
the ones i have dealt with so far are pretty useless, held buying and selling up no-end. i dread the other party using them!0
