Paying a solicitor for conveyancing on an hourly rate can be dangerous. That is why we offer a guaranteed set fee for conveyancing, giving you peace of mind.
Earlier this year the Ministry of Justice carried out research on Conveyancing Fees and their methods of calculation.
In the last 3 years, 31% of people who moved home obtained an estimate of their legal fees from their Conveyancing Solicitor. Of those, 61% obtained fixed fee quotations, whilst 4% were charged on an hourly rate.
4% of those surveyed did not bother to obtain an estimate from their Conveyancing Solicitor before proceeding.
Surprisingly, 30% of people were willing to accept a Conveyancing Estimate rather than a formal Conveyancing Quotation from their solicitors.
Whilst some Conveyancing Solicitors might argue that it is impossible to predict what complications might occur during the transaction, and therefore the level of work involved in the transaction, Freed & Co are experienced enough to provide a guaranteed set fee at the outset for any conceivable additional work which might occur.
It goes without saying that agreeing an hourly charge is unnecessary, outdated and dangerous.
So there you have it.
It’s an easy decision to make; why accept an estimate when with Freed & Co you can have the comfort and piece of mind of a fixed fee and a guarantee of no hidden extras.
