Moving House? - The Importance of Using your Local Solicitor

Hardly a day passes without some comments, observations, predictions or review of what has or is likely to occur in the property market. With the activity in the housing market starting to increase, we considered that now would be the ideal time to remind you of the benefits of using your local solicitor to deal with your house move, as it remains the most important transaction you are likely to undertake.

Whilst other larger conveyancing firms may say that they can offer you a cheaper or quicker alternative, consider the risk in the future when you come to sell your property. The time and care spent is reflected in the quality of service.

Here at Pinney Talfourd LLP we pride ourselves on our attention to detail and a thorough, and efficient, service. We try to ensure that any issues are dealt with at the time of your purchase, to prevent a problem occurring now or when you come to sell your property, which may, in difficult property conditions, restrict your ability to progress the transaction.

Be aware that, where there is a Lender involved, your chosen conveyancer or solicitor will also be acting on their behalf to ensure that they are obtaining good security for their loan. The Lender will have their own set of instructions and requirements for your conveyancer or solicitor to observe. We will try to ensure that, even if you are not buying with a mortgage, you will have no difficulties when you come to sell your property in the future to a purchaser buying with the aid of a mortgage. Other firms may not concern themselves with such issues, which will only result in difficulties in the future.

Finally, and most importantly, we do not forget that you are the client and you can always be sure that there will be someone you can talk to, who knows the background to your transaction and be on the end of the telephone and not a call centre! By instructing your local solicitor, not only will you be investing in your local economy and helping it to thrive, your will be protecting your own interest!
