Before you instruct a firm
- Check the firm on the SRA register (each firm page links to its entry) and confirm the SRA number on the firm's website matches.
- Read the published price page: it must show the total or a range, hourly rates or fixed fees, disbursements, VAT and timescales. See how to compare conveyancing quotes.
- A conveyancer does not need to be local; compare at least three written quotes, including an online conveyancer.
