The average cost of conveyancing in the UK for a buyer is set at around £1,100 whilst it is set at £570 for a seller. On a yearly basis though, £98 million goes to total of fees paid without having the contract completed. That can be a waste of money.   The question now is - how can you save when hiring a conveyancer?   First things first - you have to negotiate with a licensed expert. Make sure the fee is fixed as well. Remember that the fees may be higher once the costs of expenses are added to the total. Therefore, here are tips on saving money when hiring an expert:   1. It is best to buy a property that is freehold. This one grants you the right to lease the property out and take out mortgages on the property.   2. An online conveyancer can also be your solution. He can offer his services on a fixed rate. The savings also boils down to the fact that you need not see each other personally as long as you understand the concept of DIY conveyancing.   3. Find for ways to get some parts of the work for free. There are mortgage deals bundled with free conveyancing services to some degree. But just be very aware that this can also be a burden to you in the long run in that it can be added up to the interest rate of your mortgage.   The real deal to save on costs when hiring conveyancers depends upon your scrutiny. You should see to it that there are no hidden charges even if prices are set at a fixed rate.
