Conveyancing Solicitors vs Conveyancers

When you’re searching for a property lawyer to manage the legal process for you, you can choose one of two options, choose a Property Solicitors or a Licenced Conveyancers. Conveyancing Solicitors practice many aspects and types of law, from Property and Land Law to Personal Injury law.

The main difference between the two is the price you pay, Licenced Conveyancers normally are more affordable and more reliable.

DIY Conveyancing?

It’s possible for a buyer or seller to carry out their own conveyancing transaction, but it is very difficult and time consuming. Conveyancers don’t recommend people to do DIY conveyancing. If your conveyancing process involves a mortgage, the lender will insist that a property solicitor or licensed conveyancer is used for the conveyancing work. With more and more conveyancing firms and conveyancing solicitors advertising cheap legal services, this has made the online conveyancing industry price competitive.

About Crook

Crook is a historic market town in County Durham, in the North East of England.

Located a couple of miles north of the River Wear, Crook lies about 9 miles (14.5 km) south-west of the historic city of Durham and 5 miles (8km) north-west of Bishop Auckland. The A690 road from Durham turns into the A689 leading up through Wolsingham and Stanhope into the scenic upper reaches of Weardale (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Located on the edge of Weardale, Crook is consequently sometimes referred to as the “Gateway to Weardale”.
