At a time when many of us use the internet for so many aspects of our lives – from organising our personal banking to ordering taxis and takeaways – it might seem obvious to use one of the many internet based conveyancing firms that have emerged over the last 10 years or so. Such companies often offer seemingly cheaper services than local solicitors but do they necessarily offer an efficient and personalised service that is going to give you peace of mind?

For most of us, our home will always be our most significant asset and the buying and selling of our home our most important financial transaction and biggest financial commitment. So it is vital for you to ensure that the conveyancing is dealt with by someone you know and trust and who can help you through the often convoluted and complex process of selling and buying property.

Using a local solicitors firm, rather than an online e-conveyancer, can save you a lot of headaches during the conveyancing process.

Here are 5 important factors for you to consider before you instruct your conveyancing lawyer.
