Why don't you need a conveyancer based in New Forest?

In the old days you used your local solicitor. You would visit their office in the centre of New Forest, 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 New Forest or perhaps not even in Hampshire.

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 New Forest - 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.

Fees for conveyancing in New Forest

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 New Forest.

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.

Introduction to New Forest

New Forest is an area in Hampshire, South England, which consists of one of the largest remaining areas of unenclosed pasture and heathland in the south of the country. New Forest national park also shares similar boundaries.

There are over 250 round barrows within the New Forest, and around 150 scheduled boundaries. One of the round barrows in the area could also been a sign of one of the earliest Stone Age burials, however due to the acidity of the soil in this area, human remains are often damaged beyond recognition.

Due to the areas nature, it became a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1971, was granted its own special status as the New Forest Heritage Area in 1985. In 1999, the area was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Finally, in 2005, New Forest became a National Park.

One of the reasons New Forest has been protected so heavily is its wildlife. There is a vast array of birds, including unique Warblers and Lapwing, as well as many reptiles and amphibians, such as Adders, Grass Snakes and potentially, in the future, the sand lizard.

The largest towns in the area are settlements such as Lymington, Totton and New Milton.
