There is no denying that buying or seller a house can be a stressful time and things do not always go to plan. However, choosing the right conveyancer is one of them.
Conveyancing is the legal process leading up to the transfer of the property from the seller to the buyer It’s layered with legal requirements, paperwork, and procedures that demand a keen eye for detail and the ability to manage multiple parts of the transaction to ensure that they all come together at the same time.
Read on to learn how our conveyancers at Batt Broadbent can help to make your transaction as smooth as possible.
Why You Need a Local Conveyancer such as Batt Broadbent
The transfer of title to a property is just the tip of the iceberg and the conveyancing process includes a multitude of processes such as reviewing title to the property, carrying out searches, drawing up documents and liaising with all the different parties. It is very easy for inexperienced conveyancers to get overwhelmed by it all, but here at Batt Broadbent all our conveyancers have many years of experience and are adept at ensuring things are kept on track.
You may be tempted to use “online conveyancers”, which are often large, impersonal firms and you may find that you do not have a single point of contact. Transactions with these firms generally take longer as they have less experience staff, and their headline fees often turn out to be different to what you actually end up paying.
By comparison, we will allocate you with a single, experienced conveyancer who is responsible for your matter and who you will have direct contact with. They will happily keep you and your agent and other parties in the transaction informed of progress and ensure that things are moved along as quickly as possible.

Expertise and Legal Knowledge
Our conveyancers are specialists in property law. They have the expertise and legal knowledge to guide you through the maze of regulations, ensuring all legal obligations are met.
This expertise is invaluable, especially when dealing with complex property issues that could cause delays or additional costs.
Risk Management
Property transactions involve substantial financial investments and legal risks.
Our Conveyancers will identify potential risks, such as title issues or planning restrictions, that could affect your property rights to make sure that your decision to purchase is fully informed.
Stress Reduction
The property buying or selling process is notoriously stressful and that stress is often caused by not knowing what is going on with your transaction. Our conveyancers will make sure that you are kept informed and will highlight any issues that are likely to cause delay as soon as possible so that you are not left in the dark.
You can then focus on your move rather than the legal process.
