Conveyancing Week in Brief
The end of another hectic week in the conveyancing world, with
new house
price reports,
confusing conveyancing and our very own
guide to conveyancing fees.
House price surveys have once again dominated the weekly
conveyancing news, with Nationwide and the Land Registry releasing
their latest statistics on the state of the property and
conveyancing markets.
It’s not really any surprise that both figures contradict
each other, with the Land Registry claiming property prices rose
0.1% in June, and Nationwide stating that house prices fell by
0.5%.
As always, 1st Property Lawyers advise movers to take house
price reports with a pinch of salt, and whatever happens,
we’ll continue to provide great value conveyancing.
A survey from Reallymoving.com has shown that 57% of adults in the
UK don’t even know what the term conveyancing actually
means!
It also highlighted the fact that large numbers of the public,
including people who have previously gone through the conveyancing
process, were completely unfamiliar with the work a conveyancing
lawyer actually does.
Luckily for these people, help is at hand in the form of 1st
Property Lawyers Spotlight on Conveyancing feature.
Each week we take an in depth look at one aspect of the
conveyancing process and break it down so even the most confused
mover can understand.
This week we focussed in on conveyancing fees, and how to avoid
falling victim to rogue conveyancing firms.
Keep an eye out over the coming weeks for more great
conveyancing advice from 1st Property Lawyers.
