Why Your Conveyancer Matters as Much as Your Estate Agent

When buying or selling a home, most people instinctively focus on choosing the right estate agent—but your choice of conveyancer is just as important. While the estate agent markets the property and negotiates the sale, the conveyancer handles the complex legal work behind the scenes. Choosing the right conveyancer can mean the difference between a smooth transaction and one that stalls or falls through.

Understanding the Roles

Estate agents are responsible for advertising your property, arranging viewings, and negotiating offers. Their role is highly visible and often fast-paced. Once an offer is accepted, however, it’s your conveyancer who ensures the legal transfer of ownership is completed correctly.

A conveyancer manages legal checks, drafts and reviews contracts, liaises with other solicitors and mortgage lenders, and ensures all financial aspects are handled accurately. Without this legal oversight, your transaction cannot proceed to completion.

The Risk of Overlooking Your Conveyancer

Many buyers and sellers select their conveyancer based on price alone or rely on a recommendation from their estate agent without asking further questions. While some estate agent-recommended firms are reputable, others may not prioritise your individual needs, particularly if they handle large volumes of cases through referral arrangements.

Poor communication, slow response times, or lack of attention to detail can lead to frustrating delays and even jeopardise your transaction.

What to Look for in a Conveyancer

When choosing a conveyancer, consider the following:

• Experience in handling similar types of transactions (e.g., leasehold, new build, buy-to-let)

• Clear and transparent pricing with no hidden costs

• Good communication—do they answer your questions promptly and clearly?

• A proactive approach to dealing with potential problems before they cause delays
