When you’re buying, selling or remortgaging a property, the conveyancing solicitor you choose can make a real difference. And when it comes to conveyancing solicitors in Exeter, one stands out from the crowd – Amicus Law. Let’s take a look at why Amicus is such a good choice when it comes to conveyancing.
Depth of experience and quality of service
Conveyancing involves many moving parts: title checks, searches, drafting and negotiating contract terms, liaising with lenders, managing completion and registering new ownership. A firm that deals routinely in residential conveyancing (rather than as a sideline) is more likely to spot issues early, foresee snags and guide you through complexities with confidence.
Amicus Law has a dedicated team to help you every step of the way, and we know the intricacies of the process inside out. And we’re here to protect your interests and rights, as well as make sure your transaction is completed in a timely way. It means you can just get on with the excitement of buying a property.
Transparent communication and clarity
Moving house is complicated enough without having to try to understand a lot of legal jargon. Amicus Law makes an effort to explain things in clear, everyday language that you’ll be able to understand (rather than ‘vendor’ and ‘purchaser’, for example, we might say ‘seller’ and ‘buyer’). Because while it’s crucial you understand each stage of the process, you shouldn’t have to get your head around lots of confusing terminology as well.
What’s more, we make things as easy as possible by providing easy-to-understand explanations of the terms that we can’t help but use throughout the process – such as ‘contract of sale’ and ‘searches’.
And when it comes to communication, we’ll always be clear about what you can expect and the timescales involved, right from the start.
Honest pricing and cost transparency
Conveyancing fees vary from case to case, depending on the specifics of your situation, and the work and deadlines involved. At Amicus Law, we give you an upfront, detailed guide on the conveyancing fees to expect, but we’ll also provide you with an accurate quote based on your circumstances, so you’re only paying for what you need.
And we know that hidden costs are among the biggest frustrations in conveyancing. So we provide a full breakdown of everything you’ll need to pay, including our conveyancing fees and additional costs you need to know about.
Local presence and accessibility
Accessibility is important, and having physical offices within reach means more personal contact, quicker document signing and stronger local knowledge. Amicus Law has offices across the South West, in Exeter, as well as in Bridgwater, Minehead, Wellington, Yeovil, Martock, Taunton, Ilminster and Weymouth. This means we have more familiarity with the local areas, market and planning authorities, compared to firms with one large regional office. And of course, this also means that we can meet you in person at our Exeter office, or whichever branch is most local to you.
Recognised standards and accreditation
When comparing conveyancing firms, it’s crucial to check whether they hold professional accreditation under recognised schemes. Here at Amicus Law, we’re proud to be accredited by the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) – so you know you’ll be getting high standards in legal advice, transparent pricing, client service and regulatory compliance.
Client care, reputation and reviews
Professional accreditation is important, but reputation among previous clients is equally so. At Amicus, we’ve been described as “efficient, friendly, easy to deal with and responsive”, and this is exactly what we aim to bring to all our conveyancing clients. So if that sounds like the sort of Exeter conveyancing firm you’re looking for, then look no further. You’ve found us.
