WHY DO ESTATE AGENTS RECOMMEND CERTAIN CONVEYANCERS?
Have you ever wondered why some Estate Agents pressure you to use their recommended Conveyancers? The fact is, some Estate Agents get paid referral fees for recommending Solicitors. However, solicitors are commercial businesses and as such, need to make a profit. By paying Estate Agents referral fees the Solicitors will need to recover the money from somewhere i.e. you! It is therefore likely that the quote you receive from a firm of Solicitors that the estate agents have recommended will be considerably higher. You should also be very careful of headline quotes you are given. Check whether there are hidden additional costs for:• Postage • Dealing with mortgages • Completing Land Transaction Forms • Completing identity checks • Completing the necessary searches. Frequently the firms that are recommended are not local and you will not have an opportunity to meet anyone on a personal basis. People dealing with your transaction do not always have the correct qualifications and on top of this, they will not have the expertise & knowledge of the area like a local solicitor would. At Acorn we believe in a personal service at a reasonable fixed price with no hidden costs. We further believe that if you are spending thousands of pounds on a property, you should meet with the person who is acting for you. We will explain all of the paperwork to you and deal with any enquiries that you may have. You will have a face to face meeting which will be specific to your individual house and will cover all of the paperwork relevant to that sale or purchase. Our Conveyancers will also try and give you some helpful tips and general guidelines to assist you in your move and your future use and enjoyment of your property. Our fees will not change if we speak once on a transaction or numerous times. Visit our website to read the full article. http://www.acornsolicitors.com/2017/01/26/recommending-conveyancers/
