Conveyancing Does It Ever Go “Pete Tong”
Day 30: Everything You Need To Know About Buying and Selling a House or a Flat in 31 Daily Bite-Sized Chunks: “Conveyancing What If It All Goes Wrong””
You will never hear someone say I am out of pocket because my Conveyancing Solicitor made a mistake; it’s all gone wrong (Pete Tong in rhyming slang)
No: not even from that bloke down the pub.
The reason: Conveyancing Solicitors have a great reputation for trustworthiness and integrity.
Added to that, Conveyancing Solicitors in the UK hold the world’s most comprehensive Professional Indemnity Insurance.
The scheme which is compulsory for all firms of Solicitors provides that each firm of Solicitors holds minimum level indemnity insurance.
So, when you instruct your Conveyancing Solicitor to act for you in your sale and purchase, you are protected up to a minimum sum of 2 million pounds.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is the independent body which governs the professional conduct of Solicitors.
The SRA has one of the most stringent regulatory schemes out of all the professional organisations.

In Conveyancing transactions, Conveyancing Solicitors rely upon undertakings from fellow Conveyancing Solicitors, for example, to pay off (or redeem as it is known) a mortgage on a property.
Conveyancing Solicitors facilitate the exchange of contracts where often there are many links in the chain.
The Banks and Building Societies are also able to instruct Conveyancing Solicitors to utilise safely mortgage funds on their behalf.
This is only possible with the certain knowledge that the funds will be used correctly. In the very rare case where the funds go astray, the Banks and Building societies know they monies will be recovered.
House moving is stressful at the best of times.
The comfort and peace of mind in knowing that you are fully protected if anything goes wrong is the greatest benefit in using a Conveyancing Solicitor to carry out the Conveyancing on your home.
So relax, (OK as best you can), and rely upon your Conveyancing Solicitor to complete your move as soon as possible.
