Comparing Quotes for conveyancing is a complicated business. You google conveyancing quotes using search terms like conveyancing solicitors Liverpool, Conveyancing Solicitors Runcorn, Instant conveyancing quote Liverpool and conveyancing quotes Cheshire. Either way you are likely to find a service offering a price comparison or service offering you quotes from multiple solicitors. These are akin to the price comparison sites like go compare and money supermarket. What does that mean for the consumer? Well simply put, it means that the comparison company is likely to be receiving commission. That cost inevitability going to be passed onto the consumer so are you really getting a quote which is the best value for money? Furthermore, there is no guarantee that you will actually get an immediate quote, instead having to wait for a number of firms to contact you to provide a quote.
Similarly you may come across a number of local solicitors via you search. They ask you to fill out a contact form or phone them for a quote (during business hours). We all lead busy lives and are used to having information and prices for things in a few clicks. We often don’t have time to speak to someone during traditional business hours 9-5 Monday to Friday. Evenings and weekends are so much better to be able to shop around.
Occasionally, some solicitors or licensed conveyancers may have an online tool. Often they are complicated and even then they have messages like ‘Due to the recent announcement regarding Stamp Duty (22/11/17). If you are a First-Time Buyer please call us on xxx for a quote while we update our system’ meaning quotes are not available to everyone. Even if you do manage to get a quote it's still quite hard to work out what you are paying as there are often hidden extras such as file storage charges, case management system charges which are often labelled as disbursements rather then costs.
We at Bell Lamb & Joynson Solicitors do things differently. We may be one of the oldest solicitors firms in Liverpool but we are also incredibly forward thinking. We have an online quoting tool that is simple to use. It takes less than a minute, by answering a few simple questions to get an instant quote, presented to you on screen for our conveyancing services. It is always up to date and always accurate. For example, when stamp duty changes were announced on the 22nd of November 2017 are tool was updated the very next day. If you try it, and obtain a quote you will see a simply presented price for your legal work, any stamp duty due, searches that will be required and a nominal administration fee which are disbursements for utilising online search providers, electronic identity checks. When you consider that many conveyancers will charge up to £75 for your stamp duty submission to the inland revenue and ours is included in our costs you will see that our quotes are easy to follow and transparent. This makes us really easy to compare against other quotes you may have.
