Conveyancing is usually defined as the legal process of transferring property from the seller to the buyer.  But in reality it is much more than that.  It is rather like a 3-sided pyramid, with all sides pointing to the goal of Completion. The pyramid consists of: the procedure; the legal issues and communication. When you are buying a house, you can rely on our experienced conveyancing solicitors to build all the sides of the pyramid. Some firms will only offer you the procedural part, but Brethertons offer you the complete service.

The benefits of using Brethertons for your conveyancing needs…

Pioneering – We use cutting-edge technology to bring you fast and reliable results. We use a highly sophisticated case management system, which helps us to speed up conveyancing processes. We were one of the first firms to use this type of system, and have developed it extensively over several years.  Our system is diary driven – it reminds us when something is due to be done, and produces the appropriate legal documents.  Any member of the team can see at a glance where we are up to on your transaction and what is due to happen next.

Experience and qualifications – We have teams of experienced and dedicated conveyancers who drive the process forward, keeping you informed of progress at all times and chasing up other parties where necessary.  Our team of qualified lawyers will thoroughly investigate all legal issues and seek the best solution for you. 

Dependable and Approachable - We are on your side.  We strive to be approachable and reliable at all times, and we care about putting our clients’ needs first. We understand how important buying a house is to you. As you can see from our clients’ quotes, we stick to our word. We will keep in contact with you by telephone, email or post as you choose.  And if you would like to visit us you can call in at any time without appointment. WE ARE OPEN SATURDAY MORNINGS TOO! 

The Pitfalls of choosing the wrong conveyancing service 
Beware of using supermarkets and online web-sites – even some legal advisers - who say they offer a service they call conveyancing, because they are often only providing the procedural part, not the complete service. They may also use teams of legally unqualified operators. 

Check the small print! Very often an estate agent will recommend a particular conveyancer because the conveyancer is paying the estate agent a fee for referrals. Those conveyancers often don’t have the time or resources to keep in close contact with you unless they require something essential like a bill paying.  And they may not have the resources to deal with properties involving a complicated legal issue (not very helpful if you only find out when you are half-way through buying!).
