Why don't you need a conveyancer based in Leyland?

In the old days you used your local solicitor. You would visit their office in the centre of Leyland, and all documents would be hand-produced and posted or delivered by hand.

That service came at a price, but the truth is that it is no longer needed. With modern technology such as scanning, emailing and even Skype or Facetime video calls there is no need to use your local solicitor. Your conveyancer can be based anywhere and still provide a great service - even if he or she is in an office many miles away from Leyland or perhaps not even in Lancashire.

We have successfully dealt with thousands of conveyancing transactions all over the country, even with clients from the other side of the world. It is not unknown for us to talk to clients outside the UK using Skype, and once we had clients in Thailand talking to us through an interpreter in New Zealand!

There will be no need for you to visit our offices or hand deliver documents. You need never leave Leyland - our conveyancers will talk you through the process via phone and email, and everything works just as smoothly as it would if we were just down the road.

It might feel like online conveyancing because you can talk to us through email on your computer, but really it is proper conveyancing.

Fees for conveyancing in Leyland

Our fees are transparent and, so long as the situation does not change (for example so long as your property doesn't turn out to be leasehold when we thought it was freehold) the fee we quote is the fee you will be charged.

We don't add extras on for things like photocopying, postage, or the like. Those are our overheads and we don't pass them on to you.

All our conveyancing fees are dependent on the nature and value of the transaction, so we naturally charge a bit more for more complicated and high value work. However, the fee charged will be the same for a customer in Newcastle as it would be for someone in London, or indeed in Leyland.

There are some aspects of our conveyancing fees which we can't change. Fees charged by other bodies such as HM Land Registry, or by HMRC for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) are out of our control.

Nowadays, Leyland trucks is based in the area, and employs around 950 people with an annual turnover of approximately £850 million.
The town is also home to Enterprise plc, one of the country's leading maintenance and utility companies, which is based on Centurion Way.

The local town of Preston provides more of the area's significant cultural attractions and community facilities, however there are also a wide range of other facilities which provide for Leyland's residents, and there are also many local sports facilities, including Leyland Tennis Club, Leyland Football Club, as well as a number of other clubs providing for a wide range of sports.

In terms of transport, Leyland is the home of Leyland railway station, which provides frequent services to Liverpool Lime Street, Preston, Manchester Victoria, Blackpool North and Manchester Piccadilly.
