Advantages: Excellent solicitors, Competitive quote

Disadvantages: Not really "E-conveyancing" ;, Only England and Wales

Sold a flat in London in the summer. Unfortunately buying in Scotland, and service restricted to down south.

The website lets you obtain an estimate for the transaction and instruct a solicitor very easily and the solicitors the work was assigned to, Ramsdens of Huddersfield, dealt with a very difficult set of advisers on the seller's side excellently, pursuing the transaction to conclusion in time to meet the purchase contract requirements and never losing the rag with my increasing state of anxiety! I would unhestitaingly recomment this particular legal team.

The website doesn't do a lot else, though. It seems to depend on solicitors updating the website as a separate activity, and reading between the lines it's not integrated with their own business systems, so that would seem to be difficult for them. In any case, though, the website doesn't really provide much information that would be useful in a conveyancing that had started to sprout complications; and the call centre does almost nothing at all once a solicitor has been instructed. You pretty soon get used to conducting the actual transaction 'normally', i.e. writing letters and telephoning. Secure electronic communication with the solicitors would make a difference because then you could do your business easily in the middle of the night without waiting on the post.

But the most important thing is the quality of the solicitors which I found outstanding.

Price relates to the sale of a leasehold flat for £120,000 and includes everything.
