Why don't you need a conveyancer based in Herefordshire?
In the old days you used your local solicitor. You would visit their office in the centre of Herefordshire, 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 Herefordshire or perhaps not even in West Midlands.
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 Herefordshire - 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 Herefordshire
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 Herefordshire.
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 Herefordshire
Herefordshire is a historic county in the West Midlands, with a population of 183,600 as of mid-2014. It borders the counties of Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.
The largest settlement in the county is in fact Hereford, which is a cathedral city and the county town. Despite this, its population is relatively small, at just 55,800.
As a result of this, Hereford is predominantly classed as an agricultural area, and is well know for its fruit and cider production, as well as the Hereford Cattle Breed. Bulmer's cider is probably the most notable cider producer in the area, and are famous for both their brand of the same name, Bulmer's, which is sold worldwide, as well as the country's market leader; Strongbow. Hereford is also well known for being the location of the SAS Headquarters.
The most famous sporting team in the area is probably Hereford United Football Club, who currently play in the Southern Football League. They currently play at Edgar Street, which has a capacity of just under 5,000.
The team is frequently nicknamed as 'The Bulls', due to the town's prominence in the agricultural sector. Because of this, the clubs mascot is in fact a live bull, due to the Hereford Cattle breed being so tame.
A bull is often walked around the stadium just before home games. Cricket is also a popular game within the county, and Hereford County Cricket Club play in the English Minor Counties Cricket Club.
In terms of transport, Herefordshire hosts numerous important roads, including the M50 (one of the first motorways to be built in the UK) which runs through the south of the county. The A40 dual carriageway is also present in the county.
The Welsh Marches Railway Line is operated by Arriva Trains Wales and provides services to Manchester as well as North and South Wales. The Cotswold Line also runs through the county, and provides services to stations such as Oxford, London Paddington and Birmingham.
