Whether you are buying or selling you will at some point need a solicitor to complete some of the legal paperwork to transact the sale.

Selling your home is no different to selling a car in so far as the due dilegence that needs to be carried out.  There is a lot of competition in the conveyancing market which gives the consumer better value for money.

You can do a lot of the work yourself to keep the cost down, but unless you are paying cash for the property, you will as a minimum need a solicitor to handle the money on behalf of the mortgage provider.  In some cases, the mortgage provider may insist on using a solicitor from their approved panel.

An indication of costs are included from a number of internet based conveyancers.
