Conveyancing
Conveyancing
Buying a home is one of the largest purchases anyone will make in their lifetime, so it is essential that it is done to the highest standard. Also often referred to as one of the most stressful events of adult life, at AWD Law we aim to ensure that the stress to you is minimal yet the matter is dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) – The Law Society has set up a new quality scheme for solicitors who deal with buying and selling property. We are members of the CQS, which means that we meet the high standards the Law Society sets to ensure that we give clients a professional and quality conveyancing service
Details of our services are listed below.
Your conveyancing will be dealt with by Partner and Head of Property Paul Davies, who will be pleased to provide you with a free no obligation quotation:-
Costings
Having accurate costs information from the very beginning is important. Unless matters are unduly complex or more protracted than usual, we will typically work on a fixed fee basis for you. There are many instances where it is difficult to advise you on fees but we hope the fees and disbursements below give you a guideline of what can be charged. If during the transaction, there are matters that are likely to give rise to an increase in fees, this will be discussed with you before any change takes place and you agree the fee review.
