Satisfactory Online Conveyancing

There is another thread laying bare the problems with one particular company so to make it easier, can anyone recommend a conveyancing company/solicitors dealing online who deliver at reasonable cost, on time and are contactable if problems/queries occur?

    Pick a local one that you can visit. The saving isn't worth the risk of losing your transaction.

    Not sure where you are but there is a firm of solicitor's called Cunningtons who do conveyancing under the name of Direct Dial Conveyancing. Fee's are very reasonable & they are contactable at various offices around the country. Quote/advice line is 0800 9777887.

    I used them for my last sale & purchase & having just sold, have instructed them to act for me again this time around. Their office is manned to 7pm weekdays & is also opened Saturday mornings for urgent matters.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Thanks very much for that recommendation.

    Anyone else successfully used Cunningtons or any other online conveyancing company?

    try abode conveyanicng. I am with them, no problems and they send update emails as well. Having said that I have not completed as yet , but thats to do with my lender. I found them very helpful.

    I didnt go in looking for 5 star treatment, and I suggest if you are looking for that , don't delve in this house buying process at all.
    Inside I am THINKING.

    Thanks Rammster.

    They seem to be an agency who use local solicitors, is that your experience?

    Personally I would steer clear of supermarket style conveyancing firms. Ask your local EA's to recommend a good local solicitor.
