Reasons to use our Clerkenwell conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Clerkenwell property lawyers have a crucial advantage when it comes to Clerkenwell conveyancing as they have valuable local knowledge of local authority requirements, planning policies and other issues that can impact your home move
  • 2 Retaining the services of a high street Solicitor usually means that you will receive a more personal touch. Online forums often suggest that in choosing a an online conveyancing factory, you tend to be looked after by a team of people who check what is happening on the file by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 3 Excellent communication together with pure property experience are key benefits that you should seek when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Clerkenwell property deals can be made significantly more protracted because of lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers we work with ensure that the lines of communication are open and act on arising issues and developments expeditiously.
