How do first time buyers choose solicitors?
As previously mentioned, it is more important than ever to choose a reliable conveyancing solicitor as a first time buyer. You have never been through the conveyancing process before, and this makes it even less likely that you would recognise if your conveyancing solicitor was making mistakes, taking too long to get things done, or missing any important steps.
Research- First and foremost it is important to do a good amount of research before choosing a conveyancing solicitor, and making sure that the one you choose to work with is right for you. Look at the services that the conveyancing solicitors offer, the size of the team, and get a feel for the people before making any decisions.
Fixed-fees- It is also advisable to opt for a conveyancing solicitor that offers clear, fixed-fees on their conveyancing services. As a first time buyer, the last thing you want is to incur further costs or hidden fees later down the line that you can’t really afford to be forking out for.
Reviews- As part of your research into finding the right solicitor, make sure to read plenty of reviews of the ones that you are considering. If a conveyancing solicitor is not open and transparent about their client reviews, this could be an indication that they are not proud of the feedback given by their customers, and that it is not of a high standard.

First Time Buyer Solicitors FAQs
Before you any further with your property purchase, or do any more research into buying a house as a first time buyer, it is important to establish that you are definitely classed as a first time buyer by the government. In order to qualify as a first time buyer, you must have never owned a freehold or leasehold interest in any property before.
Because of these rules, if you have inherited a home from a family member, you cannot be considered a first time buyer. On top of this, the property that you are purchasing must be intended to be your primary residence.
The short answer to this question is yes. You cannot buy your first property, or any other property, without doing so through the legal conveyancing process of transferring the property ownership titles.
This is a technically challenging job, and if one mistake is made, it can have seriously damaging and expensive repercussions in your property purchase further down the line. Because of this, it is always best to work with an experienced, reliable conveyancing solicitor for your property purchase, especially as a first time buyer.
As it is your first time going through the conveyancing process, you need the help of a fully-qualified solicitor who specialises in residential property transactions.
