Buying or selling a property is a significant financial investment, for many it will be the biggest purchase of a lifetime, and it's important to have a qualified solicitor to guide you through the legal aspects of the transaction. While it may be tempting to choose a conveyancer based solely on price, this can be a costly mistake in the long run. In this blog post, we'll discuss why you shouldn't choose your conveyancer or solicitor based on price and why it's important to consider other factors when making your selection.
Expertise and Experience
When it comes to property transactions, it's important to choose a solicitor with the right expertise and experience. A solicitor with the right experience can help you navigate the legal process with ease and ensure that all the necessary documentation and legal requirements are met. An experienced solicitor can also provide valuable advice and guidance on the transaction, such as recommending the right clauses to include in the contract of sale, or identifying any potential legal issues that may arise. This is important for both buyers and sellers. At Mothers in Law Lawyers we have helped over 10,000 clients all over New South Wales but especially on the Northern Beaches.

Quality of Service
The cheapest conveyancer may not always provide the best service. You want to ensure that the solicitor you choose provides a quality service that will give you peace of mind throughout the process. A cheaper conveyancer may not have the experience, knowledge, or attention to detail that is required to ensure a smooth and successful transaction. You don't want to risk your property transaction falling through or encountering legal issues later on due to an inexperienced or careless conveyancer. Many smaller conveyancers don't have trust accounts and this can make the process more difficult and less efficient.
Communication and Availability
The legal process can be time-sensitive, and you need a solicitor who is available and responsive to your needs. A cheaper conveyancer may not be able to provide the same level of communication and availability as a more experienced and established solicitor. A solicitor who is slow to respond or difficult to reach can cause unnecessary stress and delay in the process, which can ultimately be more costly in the long run.
Peace of Mind
By choosing a reputable and experienced solicitor, you can have peace of mind knowing that your transaction is being handled with care and attention to detail. While a cheaper conveyancer may seem like a more affordable option at the outset, the risks and costs associated with choosing an inexperienced or careless solicitor can far outweigh any savings.
