Should I choose a local conveyancer based in Eastbourne?

When it comes to choosing a conveyancer to deal with the legal side of your property purchase, there can be so many options available. If you ask for recommendations most people that have purchased before will likely have someone they would recommend. You might be recommended someone that is based locally in Eastbourne or someone on the other side of the country.


As a result, you are hit with the first obstacle of whether you should use someone locally or someone out of town.


When it comes to whether to use a local or out-of-town conveyancer or solicitor, there are a few things to consider:

1. Convenience: Using a local conveyancer or solicitor may be more convenient as you can easily meet them face-to-face, drop off or collect documents, and attend appointments if necessary. Some people also prefer being able to meet someone face to face with such a large transaction.


2. Local knowledge: A local conveyancer or solicitor may have better knowledge of the local property market and any issues that may be specific to the area. This could potentially help to speed up the conveyancing process.


3. Cost: It's important to compare the fees and services of both local and out-of-town conveyancers to ensure you're getting value for money. Quotes can vary significantly so try not to go for the first one you receive.


4. Online services: Many conveyancers and solicitors now offer online services, which means that you can use a conveyancer or solicitor based out of town without sacrificing convenience.


In summary, there are pros and cons to using a local conveyancer or solicitor versus an out-of-town one. Ultimately, the decision should be based on what is most important to you and what will best suit your individual needs. As a mortgage advisor, I can help you weigh up the options and find a conveyancer that will work best for you.
