Sale only Quote

We don't want you to phone round our competitors for a conveyancing quote but you should be clued up if you do.

You should ask:

• Do you charge for your time in performing 3rd party ID checks?
• Do you charge extra for complying with anti-money laundering legislation? 
• Do you charge extra for completing the HMRC Stamp Duty Land tax form?
• Do you charge extra if I am buying with a mortgage or paying one off?
• Do you charge extra if the house I am buying is leasehold?
• Do you charge extra if the property I am buying is not already registered at the Land Registry?
• Do you add extra commission onto the search provider & land registry charges?
• Do you charge extra for postage or photocopying or "administration" fees?
• Do you pay referral fees to Estate Agents or any other third party?

That last point - referral fees. 

We do not need to pay third party websites or anybody else to keep us busy. 

We get our work from repeat business and client recommendations, not through charging you extra to pay for 'sales leads'. 

Hargreaves Gilman will quote one fee. We have no hidden extras. By the time our competitors extras/charges/commissions/panel fees are added on, our price usually works out more competitive. Their quotes may look attractive at first sight but you must look at the small print and of course it is definitely not all about the cost. Moving home is a stressful time and you need somebody qualified, willing and able to fight your corner. 

You should ask :

• Will  the person dealing with my matter be a qualified experienced Solicitor or will I have to deal with different team members reliant on computer software to tell them what is happening?
• Will a real person answer the telephone and take a message if the Solicitor is unavailable?
• Will I be able to come in and speak to the Solicitor in person?
• If  I struggle filling in forms or understanding the legal phrases or  procedure can I come in and sit down with someone to help me?

Here  at Hargreaves Gilman all these services are offered as standard. 

We prioritise client care and customer satisfaction. 

That's why so much of our work comes to us from recommendations and repeat business - not by paying for 'leads' or referrals.
