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

In the old days you used your local solicitor. You would visit their office in the centre of Sutton , 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 Sutton or perhaps not even in Greater London .

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 Sutton - 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 Sutton

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 Sutton .

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 Sutton

Sutton is a borough located in South West London, with a population of 198,134. It lies south of the London Borough of Merton, west of Croydon and east of the Royal Borough of Kingston Upon Thames. It was formed in 1965 through a collaboration of the former Boroughs of Sutton and Cheam, Beddington and Wallington, as well as Carshalton Urban District.

The Borough was once made up of a number of rural villages, which were often associated with feudal and royal estates. The Village Feel is still maintained today, and areas in the borough such as Carshalton and Cheam still continue to be referred as villages, which is why 91% of Sutton's residents say it to be 'a great place to live'. Locations such as The Charles Cryer Theatre, The Secombe Theatre and Carew Manor reinforce this statement. Along with this, there are 147 Grade II Listed buildings, 6 Grade II* and 1 Grade I Listing.

A Trust for London and New Policy Institute reported that Sutton was not especially deprived, but not as prosperous as places such as Richmond and Kingston.

In terms of education, The Borough of Sutton has some of the schools with the best results in the country. It has the highest consistency of pupils achieving 5 A*- C grades in GCSEs throughout the entirety of London, with the average at 74.7%, compared to the national average of 58.2%. These factors have allowed the borough to commonly be referred to as 'one of England's most normal places to live'.

Sutton has also tried to increase its local environmental sustainability through a number of way. For instance, the Beddington Zero Energy Development (BedZed) is a state of the art sustainable residential complex, receiving power from a small localised combined heat and power plant, which provides energy to its 99 homes. The homes are also built from materials which allow for the storage of heat during warm conditions which is consequently released in cooler periods. This allowed for BedZed to be the UK's largest and first carbon-neutral eco-community.
