The Telegraph (25/05/2013) reports the conclusions of a survey by ‘Which? Money’ focusing upon the regrets of homebuyers.

The biggest issues would appear to be feeling pressurised to pay more for the property, failing to order a full structural survey (invariably to save money in the short term), endowment mortgages (a story in itself), and insufficient research into the area into which they are buying.

This is why it is important to instruct fully qualified solicitors who can advise you about all the possible pitfalls of buying property in London and the South East.

Many purchasers, again in a bid to save money, instruct virtual law firms or conveyancing factories staffed by paralegals, on the basis that they offer cheap rates. They simply cannot provide the quality of advice and specialist experience that mature, specialist solicitors can. We work with leading surveyors and top London estate agents, have an excellent reputation, and provide a personally tailored service for YOU, ensuring that all of the possible regrets expressed by the respondents in the ‘Which? Money’ survey are addressed and any pitfalls avoided.

If you are buying or selling a property and want a first class service contact Richard McConnell.
