People, do you prefer to use a solicitor or conveyancer? Is the only difference, apart from the price, that a solicitor can represent you in court and a conveyancer can’t?
I just wander if it is worth the extra cost if you choose a solicitor.
What do you think?Go with a conveyancer. They specialise in the area. I once had a bad experience with a solicitor, because he palmed off the work to his 20 year old secretary becuase he was to busy to do the work himself.
As for representing in court, this is true, but you’d have to pay court costs on top of your conveyancing costs if it went that way, so keep the money up front and use a solicitor when you need to.
If you’re not familiar with standard contracts and the sale process you may be better off with a solicitor.
Otherwise, go with a conveyancer.

A conveyancer is definitely the way to go. I just used a solicitor, and had a hard time contacting him as he was always in court or depositions.
Agree with the others that conveyancers specialise in this area and can provide more assistance.
