Full Support

We support you every step of the way. Any issues, questions, or queries we will handle from start to finish.

We make sure you
secure the right solicitor

If you do NOT instruct the right solicitor you risk significant delays.

If the person you instruct is not acceptable to the lender then this can cause significant delays and costs to you. The leading solicitors are not just regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA), they also hold CQS accreditation via the Law Society, and should be Lexcel accredited (or at least working towards it). Lexcel accreditation is not easy for a solicitor to secure and shows they operate to a very high standard. Solicitors with CQS and Lexcel accreditation must have met, and continue to meet, extremely high standards of service.

We select, monitor, police, and assess the performance of our solicitors every month. We do not have to work with the solicitors we have cherry picked but we do so for a reason.

What sets us apart?

We make it a simple process

No. 1 conveyancing
offer in the UK

No one else in the market offers 5* solicitors, with our level of support, and range of FREE benefits we provide our clients. Our solicitors price themselves extremely competitively.

In order to provide a 5* service though there is always going to be a barrier as to how low they can go. In any race to the bottom service suffers and our priority – and that of our solicitors – is to provide you with a 5* service which completes in the most convenient and efficient way possible.

If clients sign up with our solicitors we provide them with £100’s worth of FREE benefits potentially saving them £1000’s via FREE lifetime membership of Online Discount Club and My Legal Club. Online Discount Club provides you with unique discount codes with leading UK retailers and savings on over 4000 products.

Simple Process

  • Select your quote type on our conveyancing quote form
  • Enter the details of your transaction and press “GET MY QUOTE NOW” (this information is purely to enable us to generate accurate comparison quotes as these questions dictate what fees, if any, solicitors charge for each item)
  • Review the comparison quotes by price, location, legal ready status, and online review ratings
  • Choose a solicitor to instruct
  • The solicitor will go through their terms and conditions with you and answer any questions you have!

Experience & Expertise

In the past we have owned solicitors firms, legal services lead generation businesses, and built panels of solicitors. Most of the people selecting panels of solicitors have limited knowledge and experience of the sector. We want to ensure we put those experiences to good use so we cherry-picked a select panel of highly recommended and specialist solicitors. Between our panel of solicitors, they have achieved, Nomination in ‘The Legal 500 Top Tier’, Nomination in the ‘Top 100 law firms’ and The Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS).
We can facilitate all mortgage lender panels with free & no-obligation fixed fee conveyancing, free & no-obligation conveyancing quotes.

Full Support

We are on hand throughout the process to handle any issues and even have an SMS facility so you can text us with any issues or questions to compliment our additional customer support services.
You will receive regular and informative updates from the solicitors.
We will chase them regularly but if you require any help, support, or want us to speak with the solicitors to help solve a problem you can reach out to us anytime:

  • Via email: info@mylegalclub.co.uk
  • Via text message: +447984388694

(SMS arrives as an email in our customer services inbox so is 100% safe and secure)

Combining Quality & Speed

We recommend you choose a solicitor marked as “legal ready”. These are solicitors who offer digital starter packs. This means that you can provide identification documents, proof of address, and sign up to a solicitor using your smart phone or email. It is 100% safe and secure and compliant. Many solicitors waste weeks to simply open a file as they rely on traditional post services (which you can request if you wish). Our solicitors combine legal expertise with the latest modern technology to ensure you get the best of both worlds.

I saved hundreds of pounds on legal fees compared to quotes I received from other solicitors. The discounts and savings shopping online are brilliant too. Highly recommend.

FAQ’s & Conveyancing Definitions

What Are The Benefits Of Using Conveyancing Solicitor Near Me?
How do Conveyancing Solicitor Near Me select the solicitors to choose from?

My Legal Club has carefully cherry-picked a bespoke panel of the leading conveyancing solicitors across the UK.
There are two key aspects to how we choose our solicitors.
1) how we select solicitors to join our panel
2) how we select which solicitor is best suited to you
The group of solicitors we work with are unique as we cherry-picked the solicitors ensuring they are:

  • Experienced solicitors regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA)
  • Accredited by the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS). This is vital as many lenders will not work with a conveyancer who is NOT CQS
  • Highly recommended by other customers with high customer ratings and reviews
  • Constantly monitored by us. We monitor customer service, average quote size, speed of completion, amongst many other factors. We can expel solicitors from our panel if they do not meet the 5* service standards we expect for our clients.
  • Committed to a level of service we have made every solicitor sign ensuring our clients receive a 5* level of customer service

You can compare quotes by price, location, online reviews, and legal-ready status.

You can find out more about the My Legal Club Conveyancing service here.

What does legal ready mean?

Here at Conveyancing Solicitor Near Me, we would always recommend you use a “Legal ready” firm.

Our definition of “legal ready” is a solicitor who offers digital starter packs.

This means that you can provide identification documents, proof of address, and sign up to a solicitor using your smartphone or email. It is 100% safe and secure and compliant.

Many solicitors waste weeks to simply open a file and request information from you via post with a stamped addressed envelope as they rely on traditional post services (which you can request if you wish).

Our solicitors combine legal expertise with the latest modern technology to ensure you get the best of both worlds.

How long does a remortgage take? How long does conveyancing take?

It is important to remember that your solicitor will want to complete the legal process as quickly as possible. None of our solicitors will sacrifice customer service and communication for speed as our focus is a 5* service.
It is important to remember though that the solicitors do not receive their fees until the process is complete so it is not in your solicitor’s interest to delay matters.
With remortgages, the industry average is 4-8 weeks but we have seen cases complete within 2 weeks.
With buying and selling houses the industry average is 12 weeks but again we have seen our solicitors complete much quicker than this. The main problem with any form of conveyancing is the delays incurred by people or other businesses which are out of your control e.g.

  • You may be in a chain if buying and/or selling a house and other people can slow this down
  • If you are using a lender to provide a mortgage or remortgage they can often hold things up
  • Clients themselves sometimes delay matters by not having the paperwork ready or available
  • If searches are required then delays can be suffered depending on the organisation processing the searches
Do I need a local solicitor?

We created “Conveyancing Solicitor Near Me” because we understand supporting local businesses and the benefits of “buying local” in general.

However, when it comes to conveyancing it is not a prerequisite that you need a local conveyancing solicitor. In fact, it is sometimes to your detriment that you select a local solicitor as they may be much more expensive than alternative solicitors, they may not have 4.5 or higher Google reviews, or may not have efficient processes to speed up your case with digital sign-ups and client onboarding.

As a result, we wanted to create a solution whereby not only can you compare solicitors in your region but you can also compare them against their national rivals by price, customer ratings, online reviews, and legal ready status. We would always recommend using a legal-ready firm as they often save weeks on the time it takes for your conveyancing to complete due to more advanced digital methods of client onboarding.

There are three misconceptions about using a local conveyancing solicitor, namely:

  • The solicitor knowing the area may help
  • I may get a cheaper quote as I am local
  • It will result in the conveyancing completing sooner
  • It is more convenient for me if I can just pop in and see my solicitor

Here at Conveyancing Solicitor Near Me, we believe that whether you choose a local solicitor is a matter of personal choice but you do NOT need your solicitor to be local. We are more interested in you receiving the highest standard of service for the best value.

Our solicitors can secure your identification document using modern methods meaning they do not need to have your identity verified in old-fashioned ways (e.g. by visiting the solicitor’s office in person).

The location of the solicitor is irrelevant. Any local knowledge has no impact upon the conveyancing process which is heavily transactional and document-based.
On the contrary, in our experience at “Conveyancing Solicitor Near Me” when researching potential solicitors to join our panel, a lot of conveyancing firms, especially in the South, are more expensive than their national counterparts. We believe many local firms know that some clients are not going to research the market and are going to contact their local solicitor. In addition, the less work a solicitor receives the greater the pressure is to increase prices to make ends meet.

The speed at which conveyancing completes depends on a number of factors so the location of a solicitor is irrelevant. Any chain and the pace at which they move, along with any issues caused along the chain, your own efficiency in responding to queries and providing information, along with time spent waiting on surveyors, lenders, and for search results, etc mean there are a lot of factors which impact upon the speed of a conveyancing transaction.

There is no need for face-to-face meetings or visits in a conveyancing transaction. Here at Conveyancing Solicitor Near Me, the only benefit we can think of is that rather than sending documents to the solicitor via stamped addressed envelope you can hand them to the solicitor directly. This apart there is no extra convenience gained by selecting a local solicitor.

Why are the legal fees associated with conveyancing different with each solicitor?

Most solicitor’s legal fee pricing is pretty similar. Where a solicitor is based, how good their internal systems and software are, their business model and a number of other factors impact upon what price a solicitor will provide for a quote.
There are three factors to consider in any quote:
1) The solicitors legal fee (profit costs)
2) Is the solicitor providing a full quote with no hidden charges? Sometimes quotes can appear cheaper because the quote has not been provided in full
3) There are disbursements (additional fees) and supplementary fees required to complete the process which is not related to the solicitor’s legal fee. Examples are:

  • Stamp duty fees
  • Land Registry fees
  • BACS (cost of the banking transfers)
  • Searches (local searches etc)
  • VAT on the legal fee
When do I need to pay my solicitor conveyancing fees?

1. The solicitor’s legal costs are usually paid for at the end. E.g. when the process is completed.
2. Some disbursements (e.g. transactional fees) such as local searches or official copies will be paid for up-front by you. You will have received confirmation of these within any quote before you instructed the solicitor. Other disbursements are paid at the end.
3. Some solicitors ask for some money up-front e.g. 10% of their legal fees but most do not.

What does a quote look like? Why is there a list of other fees?

Quotes can be misleading. Some companies only quote you for their fees to make the cost seem attractive. This quote may not include their VAT and/or the disbursements.

What are disbursements? Disbursements are the fees which you must pay for, not limited to but including, bacs transfers, land registry fees, fees for the searches, etc. Many companies leave these items off resulting in you receiving a bigger invoice than you expected. Make sure your quote includes all VAT and disbursements to ensure you have accurate information and can budget correctly.

An example of the quote headings when buying a house is below:

Legal Fee
VAT
Disbursements & Supplementary fees:

(such as)
Land registry fees
Stamp Duty
Search Pack
OS1 search
Bankruptcy search (per name)
ID check (each one)
Electronic file holding
CHAPS
