Choosing your conveyancer.
Choosing the right conveyancer can make all the difference to your move. Here’s what to look for, which questions to ask and why clear, transparent fees matter.
The right conveyancer.
A quicker move.
Agreeing a sale is an exciting milestone. Choosing the right conveyancer helps you take the next steps with confidence.
You want someone who answers your questions, explains what happens next and keeps things moving. Someone who understands that behind the paperwork is a home, a plan and a move that matters to you.
At Move Revolution, we see how much good conveyancing contributes to a successful move. Here’s what we recommend looking for when you choose your conveyancer.
What is conveyancing?
Conveyancing is the legal work involved in transferring ownership of a property. It includes reviewing contracts, carrying out searches, investigating legal questions and arranging the transfer of funds and ownership.
Your conveyancer handles the legal detail. Your estate agent helps coordinate the sale. Clear communication between everyone involved makes a difference throughout.

What makes a good conveyancer?
A fixed fee.
Our preference is a fixed legal fee for an agreed scope of work, with a clear breakdown showing what is included, what is charged separately and when additional costs might arise.
Proactive Communication
Knowing who is handling your move, and how to reach them, this makes the process easier to navigate. Ask who your main contact will be, who provides cover when they are away and how you will receive updates.
Realistic expectations
Every transaction is different. The chain, mortgage arrangements, searches and legal enquiries can all affect timing. Look for someone who explains those dependencies and keeps you informed as the picture develops.
Why we prefer a clear, fixed-fee quote
Our preference is a fixed legal fee for an agreed scope of work, with a clear breakdown showing what is included, what is charged separately and when additional costs might arise. Before instructing a conveyancer, check that you understand:
The legal fee, including whether VAT is included.
Third-party costs, such as searches and Land Registry fees.
Any additional charges relevant to your move, including leasehold work, mortgage-related work or a gifted deposit.
What could change the quote, and how any extra work would be agreed with you.
What you would owe if the move did not proceed
A fixed legal fee does not necessarily mean every cost associated with the transaction is included. The important thing is being able to see the full picture and understand the terms before you commit. When comparing quotes, look at what each one covers alongside the headline price.
