Buying or Selling Property: Why Communication and Experience Matter More Than The Cheapest Quote
Whether you’re buying or selling as an individual or a company, using an experienced legal team makes all the difference. Strong communication, efficient processes and experienced and qualified conveyancers will ensure fewer delays, a smoother experience and peace of mind. In this latest blog we evaluate why you shouldn’t be tempted to pick the cheapest quote.
What Is Conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal process required to transfer ownership of a property. This process involves various steps including necessary checks, searches and documentation. A conveyancer manages this process to identify potential risks and confirm all legal requirements are met, protecting both the buyer and seller from future complications. Completion day is the day on which everyone is expected to pay the balance of the purchase monies and also to move and gain possession of the property they are buying.
With a wealth of experience, we help you with the legal process of transferring ownership of property including pre-contract, pre-completion and post completion to ensure the contracts are signed and legally binding.
Experienced Conveyancers
Having an experienced conveyancer can protect more than just your time. Many property transactions can often uncover unexpected complications that aren’t in the original timeline. Experienced teams can help to foresee and spot risks ahead, offer commercial and practical solutions and protect you from avoidable issues. Using a less experienced team could see emails going unanswered for days, completion dates slipping and you as the buyer or seller left chasing updates.
At Mackenzie Jones all of our clients buying or selling a property are allocated an experienced conveyancer who will deal with your transaction from start to finish. You will be told from the outset who the main fee earner is acting for you and whom they are supported by.
Efficient Processes
Conveyancing can vary in duration as delays can arise due to many different factors but it’s not about cutting corners- it’s about having the right systems and processes in place. Delays can be caused by a number of reasons such as mortgage approvals, legal issues, or complications in the chain. Typically, conveyancing takes around 8 to 12 weeks but can also vary based on factors such as the type of property or mortgage and speed of communication from all parties. A good conveyancer will work to address delays and keep you updated throughout the process.
At Mackenzie Jones you will have two main points of contact throughout the transaction always available to guide you through the process. Our aim is to ensure the transaction is completed as smoothly and as quickly as possible. Assuming that the matter proceeds smoothly, we would expect a standard transaction to be completed within three months.
Excellent Communication
During the conveyancing process, you could often be left wondering what stage the process is at, what’s outstanding and whether anything has gone wrong. A good law firm would be communicating with you regularly to give you certainty, assurance and making quick decisions if issues arise.
At Mackenzie Jones we pride ourselves on our relationships with clients and work with you as a team to achieve your goals. Our team is friendly and approachable and will explain everything to you in a simple (no jargon) way.
