How do you find a good Halifax Conveyancing Solicitor?
- Recommendation
Certainly if you know someone you can trust such as a friend or family member who has used a good conveyancing Halifax solicitor in the past, this can be a good place to start. However, you need to make sure that the solicitor was used for conveyancing and not in some other area of the law.
Halifax estate agents are often happy to recommend a local firm but usually because they will receive a referral fee or some other benefit for passing clients in that direction. Very often this solicitor will also charge much higher fees than you need to pay.
- Good old fashioned research
You could either walk the high street (or maybe telephoning would be quicker) and ask for quotes from a number of local Halifax conveyancing firms. However, you will probably find that most local solicitor firms will charge similar fees. They are not allowed to “fix fees” the same as each other as this would be known as a “cartel” which is illegal, but fees can be very similar indeed. It is a fact that across the country there are much cheaper solitors in various areas which will do exactly the same job for far less money – but how are you to find them?
