Service
“Our service proposition is “no sale, no legal fee”. If your sale and purchase does not proceed to exchange, you will not have to pay any legal fees for the work we have undertaken for you. You will still be responsible for any payments made to third parties on your behalf during the course of the transaction.
We provide the legal work required to transfer the legal ownership of the property from you to your Buyer (on a sale) or from the Seller to you (on a purchase). If there is a mortgage involved on your transaction, there will be legal work to be undertaken on behalf of the lender, and the lender will expect you to meet our additional fees on this.
Our Property Lawyers tend to work normal working hours, but we also provide a telephone update service seven days a week, Monday to Friday 9am to 7pm, Saturday 9.30am – 4.30pm and Sunday 10am to 3.30pm. There is no need to visit our office as everything can be done remotely.
Initially, you will be looked after by our New Business team, as we confirm your requirements, and once a sale is agreed, you will be allocated to a Property Lawyer, with the relevant experience to handle your transaction and your unique requirements. Conveyancing Direct employ over 22 Licensed Conveyancers, FCILEx qualified persons and Solicitors, who also supervise our Property Lawyers who have been certified to have the relevant competence to handle your transaction type.
Once a sale is agreed, the contact details of your allocated Property Lawyer will be confirmed in writing to you, together with the details of their supervisor, should you wish to escalate any concern.

Each transaction is unique, and it is therefore difficult to estimate the likely timescales, but as an indication, the national average is 18 weeks.
