About us
Compare Conveyancing Quotes exists to answer one question properly: what will the legal side of your move cost, and who should do it. Tell us about the transaction and we return tailored quotes from regulated firms, with the full cost broken down.
What we do
Most conveyancing "quotes" are a legal fee with the rest to follow.
Every quote breaks out the legal fee, the VAT on it, and the disbursements the firm pays on your behalf, such as searches and Land Registry fees. You compare totals rather than headline figures. How much conveyancing costs sets out what sits in each part.
Our panel of 60+ firms is made up of conveyancing solicitors regulated by the SRA and licensed conveyancers regulated by the CLC. Who can legally do your conveyancing explains the difference and why it matters.
Independent review scores sit beside each quote, so the cheapest option is never a leap of faith. Movers rate the panel 4.8 out of 5.
Comparing costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We share your details with the firms quoting for your work, and our privacy policy sets out exactly how that data is handled.
How we are paid
Comparing is free to you. You only pay when you choose to instruct, and the quoted total is then split in two. The first part is an upfront payment to us at the point of instruction: our referral fee for transferring you to the firm. The second is the balance, which the law firm bills you and which falls due when your transaction completes: on completion of a sale or purchase, or when your new mortgage completes if you are remortgaging. It is a split, not an addition, so our fee comes off your total rather than sitting on top of it, and you are not paying the whole quote on day one. If your move falls through, the upfront payment is refundable within 14 days of instruction, and after that it is transferable, with no time limit, to a future conveyancing matter with us.
We say this plainly because the alternative is a reader discovering it at the point of payment. The quote you compare is the quote you pay.
The platform behind the panel is Pinlocal, which is also where firms apply to join. If you run a conveyancing practice, see join our panel.
