Is DIY Conveyancing an option?

It’s possible for someone to do their own conveyancing, but it’s complicated and time consuming. We DO NOT advise people to do DIY conveyancing. If the conveyancing process involves a mortgage, the lender will insist that a property solicitor or licensed conveyancer is used for the conveyancing. Now that there are more and more conveyancing firms and conveyancing solicitors offering low price legal services, this has made the conveyancing industry price competitive.
