    Versuslaw especially Anita Craig helped so kindly from 2018 for pia delay flight claim which was showing possible but Ms Anita Craig proved it again that versus law can do it. Thank you will use again and recommend 100percent.

  • R Nabi

    We have just completed on a buy and sell having used Versus Law for both sides of the transaction.
    Versus Law have been immense throughout, with the Conveyancer looking after our ‘purchase’ working hand in hand with his colleagues to keep us informed of how the ‘sell’ was progressing too.
    Amazing bunch of people. There should be more firms providing this high level of service.

  • B Keane

    Very professional and up to the task
    I found versus law straight forward and very helpful.

  • K Boon

    i recently completed on a property and was guided really well by Katrina and Lisa. Ive never purchased a property before so really didn’t know what was involved. It was easy and seamless no stress at all followed by a price that was so much cheaper than other quotes I’d had

  • M Rehman

    Having had my PIA flight delayed for over 5 hours.. Anita Craig of versus law solicitors was a great help. Every step was made easy for me to understand and I will definitely be recommending yourselves to family and friends.

  • Steven P

    Excellent work, thank you.

  • Liz

    Nicola Nolan and Natalie Moylan are an excellent conveyancing team. We have used them more than once and recommend them to friends and family (who were also impressed). This time they were involved in us buying a property in Wales and kept us informed all the way through, even with covid restrictions causing problems. They are friendly, efficient and get the job done in a no-nonsense way which is what you need. They take the stress out of conveyancing for you. Very impressed and would recommend to anyone and everyone.

  • Gem

    I was selling my home which had a complicated title and versus law was recommended to me. Natalie Moylan handled my case from start to finish and I couldn’t ask for anyone better! There were no obstacles that couldn’t be overcome and in a very fast turn around too. The sale completed in no time at all. Natalie was timely, professional and friendly and an absolute pleasure to have on my side. I would strongly recommend Versus law to anyone.

  • Bonnie

    I have used the services of Nicola Nolan at Versus Law twice this year and was instantly put at ease and very impressed with the help received and the outcome achieved. Would recommend without hesitation

  • Daniel

    I called to get some documents certified, the ladies on reception were so helpful. I am very happy with the service I received and will use Versus Law again.

  • M

    Dealt with my flight claim hassle free and super quick, I was continuously updated every step of the way and overall really pleased with the outcome. A personal thank you to Anita as she couldn’t have made it easier for me and saw through any problems I had!

  • Richard

    I purchased my first home in February, and used Versus as my solicitor. I dealt with Natalie Moylan from start to finish, who was excellent throughout. The purchase ended up being delayed and resulted in a quite hectic finish, but Natalie remained calm and professional at all times, whilst providing a very high quality of work. My thanks to Natalie and her team, for making a long purchase so much easier!

  • C Savage

    We were selling our house (through Nick) and buying a house (through Natalie) and I can honestly say these are the best solicitors we’ve ever used (we had always used ones in London previously). They both kept us informed on a regular basis as to how things were progressing which I really valued and they were quick to respond to any queries I asked. They were professional, efficient, helpful and really nice to deal with. We were recommended Versus through local friends that have used them previously and I would definitely recommend Versus to anyone else asking me for a recommendation.
    Thanks again Natalie and Nick.

  • J Percy

    We used Nicola Nolan for our purchase/transfer of ownership. She was excellent from start to finish. We were fully informed of the process throughout and she was always friendly, approachable and very professional at all times. Would definitely recommend her at Versus Law. Thank you again

  • J Guntren

    Amazing law firm for conveyancing!! My wife and I made an offer on a house 24th September and we were moved in by 20th December. It should also be noted that we were selling my wife’s apartment at the same time (also using Versus), further complicating everything. Thanks to Natalie, everything was done in a very efficient manner and she was very understanding of our situation.

  • P Godfrey

    Many thanks to Anita and all the staff at Versuslaw, they made my flight compensation claim for delay a breeze. I would highly recommend them

  • G Ryder

    The service and advise that we received from Versuslaw was exceptional. We had numerous issues with the house that we were buying and the team at Versus law guided us through the process whilst always looking out for our best interest.They were always prompt in responding to any question that we had and would update us on a regular basis. Thanks again to Nicola, Nick and Francine

  • Mark

    Excellent, professional and friendly work from Nick, Nicola and Natalie. They were flexible and very helpful in pushing along the sale despite several hurdles. Would definitely use again in future and would recommend others do so too

  • C Keen

  • J Williams

    From the moment we rung Versus Law and spoke to the receptionist on the phone to the moment we completed on our first home, Versus Law were excellent. Our solicitor was Tom and not only did he keep us updated every step of the way but he was very professional, efficient, offered valuable advice and made the process of buying a house stress free. We couldn’t recommend Versus Law enough and we just wanted to say a huge thank you to Tom and the team. Joe and Kara

  • S Foster

    Sarah handled my claim quickly and efficiently. It made the whole process easy and stress free. She was very professional and kept me informed every step. I would highly recommend Versuslaw.

  • H Cooper

    We would highly recommend Versus law, especially Nick Wintrip (selling) and Nicola Nolan (buying). They both kept us up to date throughout the whole process. They were easy to get hold of and were very prompt to answer any questions/email. We would have no hesitation in recommending Versus law for conveyancing.

  • I Asaf

    Fantastic service, very helpful and kept me informed at every stage

  • M Long

    From start to finish Versus Law have been professional and helpful. Tom Reid was always available to talk to us and gave us updates regularly meaning we did not have to constantly chase up matters. We are very happy by the service and would recommend to anyone looking for a reliable solicitor.

  • Jill T

    Excellent service. I was kept informed every step of the way. Natalie Moylan and Renee Burke were a pleasure to work with. Highly professional but with a personal touch. They both went above and beyond!

  • Danielle

    Excellent service from start to finish from Nicola and Natalie! Super responsive to emails and all my questions as a first time single buyer. Natalie and Nicola make a great team and are so approachable. Definitely recommend them for property related legal services.

  • Frankie

    Really happy with my experience using versus law, from start to finish they put my mind at ease as I wasn’t buying a house in the normal way, it was through a family divorce and there were time scales and dead lines to meet, versus law managed to conker my mortgage and speed things up to avoid any extra costs, nicola was always there to ease my mind when I had any concerns as things do get stressful whilst purchasing a property, the ladies on the reception we also a delight and couldn’t do more to make you feel comfortable in any situation, if you are thinking of using versus law to assist you through your mortgage then look no further as these guys couldn’t have done more for me, I couldn’t have been happier with my experience

  • Matt W

    Nicola Nolan’s conveyancing service has always been excellent, I have used them several times in the last 5 years. In particular for my business I have found their relationship and understanding of Paragon Bank to be very useful. I would highly recommend.

  • Kay

    Excellent decision to go with Versus Law! Nick Wintrip handled the very stressful job of our house sale with professionalism, calmness and a good sense of humour. We did everything via email, phone and post, and he was always quick in responding and keeping me updated every step of the way. Very competitively priced too. I would highly recommend Versus Law without the slightest hesitation.

  • O Li

    Thomas Reid dealt with the sale and purchase of our properties. He was a pleasure to work with – very quick to respond to queries and very efficient in his work. As a result, the process went very smoothly with minimal delays. I would highly recommend competitively priced Versus Law and especially the professionalism of Thomas Reid.

  • Mr RS

    Natalie Moylan dealt with the sale and purchase on my behalf. The whole process was very well handled with constant updates. The first solicitors I’ve used that’s responds within to an email within an hour! Would 100% use again!!!

    Fantastic experience with Natalie and her colleagues. Email updates throughout the home buying process, estimates of how long it would take to get her work completed and local knowledge which speeded up the process. 100% recommended.

  • Wetherill

    What an outstanding team they turned my purchase around within the set time frame and very professional at all times.
    They went above and beyond reassured myself throughout the process.
    As being a first time buyer I felt this was most important I would recommend them highly.

  • Nasir

    Versus Law dealt with my house sale from start to finish in a most professional manner. A friendly, professional, competent team who get the job done within the time parameters. I highly recommend this firm.

  • Colin and Yvonne

    Absolutely brilliant service as always.
    This is the third time using Versuslaw and they never fail to impress. Natalie and Nicola are real diamonds and you really get the sense that they actually care about you.

    We actually live in London, but continued to use them for our London property because of our previous experience with them.
    Thank you guys, would highly recommend you to anyone.

  • B Man

    Excellent service!!! We are really happy with the service VersusLaw provided to us. Being first time buyer, we dint have much idea about the whole process and had lots of questions. They have given proper and clear response on time to everything we have requested. For us, one of the property got cancelled in between the process because the owner decided to not to sell that property few days after accepting our offer. Though there were searches and procedures done already for that property VersusLaw did not ask Fee for that purchase as they understood the difficult situation we were in. When we found our next property, we had no doubt whom to contact. We are really happy and totally satisfied by the service Nicola, Natalie and their team offered. We will highly recommend your service to anyone,

  • Ross Grant

    Today I have completed on the purchase of my very first apartment, and it just wouldn’t have been possible without the INCREDIBLE knowledge, guidance and GENUINE care of Nicola, Natalie, and the entire Versus Law team.

    This purchase was far from straightforward, with lots of potential pitfalls – all navigated with professionalism, patience and an impeccable attention to detail by Nicola.

    Nic went well above and beyond the call of duty to look into some extremely complex accounts and repair budgets to the apartment block in question – something I would have completely overlooked.

    As a result, with her guidance, I managed to negotiate a £2,000 reduction in asking price – something I’m sure other solicitors would have let slip through the net.

    That’s a genuine £2000 saving – a lot of money for a first-time buyer.

    You get a real sense that these guys actually CARE – they make you feel more like a friend, than a client – and don’t leave a stone unturned when it comes to conveyancing. If there is anything to uncover on a property, trust me, Nicola will find it!

    In essence, Versus Law made what could have been a rather stressful situation, easy and straightforward.

    Communications and response times were brilliant, with daily updates coming via phone and email – and I never felt rushed by anyone when I had queries.

    I honestly cannot recommend Versus Law enough.

    I’m going to pick up the keys to my apartment now – and won’t be using anyone other than these guys for all future property purchases/ sales.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH Versus Law – I’ll be raising a glass of champagne to you all at the housewarming! 🙂

  • CW

    Great service provided by Nicola and her team.
    Always communicating with updates for the completion of my property.
    Would highly recommend

  • Jackie

    I used Versus Law to buy my first house. Had no idea how it worked but I must say that the conveyancing team held my hand all the way through. On the day of completion there was a delay and they stayed in office late to ensure it went through so I wasn’t waiting over the weekend. It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Versus Law and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. It was nice to speak to people who I felt cared for me and put my interests first at all times. Thank you so much for your help

  • Andy

    Versus were great to deal with when they provided the conveyancing for my house purchase. I was able to complete the process without needing to physically travel to their offices and my solicitor was always available for any questions when I was completing all the paperwork. Everyone was very friendly to speak to.

  • T Baguley

    Fantastic conveyancing service from Nicola and Natalie, they kept on top of everything from start to finish and were always available whenever we had questions. I’d be happy to recommend them to anyone.

  • David JC

    Very impressed with every aspect of Versus Law, from service they provide to the attitude of the staff. Always called back when they said they would and had a laugh with them too. Will definately use again (if I need to).

  • Mrs Morris

    I would recommend Versus Law to anyone, particularly Nick Wintrip, who looked after us extremely well. They are very efficient and communicated with us fully at all times. We were able to contact them by phone and e mail and did not need to rely on letter going back and forth. Nick is really friendly too and put us at ease throughout the end to end sales process. Thank you.

  • Tanita

    Nicola and Natalie did a wonderful job. They were friendly and patient. Answered my many many questions and got the job done very efficiently. I am highly impressed and would definitely recommend them.

Can Conveyancing Be Done Online?


When you’re about to buy or sell a property, one of the biggest decisions you’ll face is whether to use an online conveyancing solicitor or go with a traditional, bricks-and-mortar law firm. For many, particularly first-time buyers, this decision can feel overwhelming. With so much on the line, you need to choose the right approach that ensures your property transaction goes smoothly. But is online conveyancing a reliable option? In this blog post, we’ll explore the benefits and potential downsides of online conveyancing, and help you decide which route is best for your needs.

What Is Online Conveyancing?

Online conveyancing refers to managing the legal aspects of buying or selling property primarily through digital means—email, online portals, and video calls—without face-to-face meetings with a solicitor. The entire process can be done remotely, allowing you to handle your property transaction from anywhere in the UK.

This modern approach aims to make the property buying or selling process quicker, easier, and more convenient by eliminating the need for in-person visits. While the legal obligations and regulations remain the same as traditional conveyancing, the way in which you interact with your solicitor differs significantly.

Why Is Online Conveyancing Gaining Popularity?

With the increasing role of technology in everyday life, more people are turning to online services for everything from banking to healthcare, so it’s no surprise that the property market has followed suit. For busy individuals or those simply looking to save time, online residential conveyancing presents an appealing alternative.

Offering competitive pricing and a streamlined process, online conveyancing solicitors are fast becoming a popular choice. But does this method of handling a property transaction stack up against the traditional, face-to-face approach? Let’s take a closer look.

The Benefits of Using an Online Conveyancing Solicitor

1. Cost-Effective Services

One of the main reasons people choose online conveyancing is the cost. Online conveyancing solicitors typically have fewer overheads than traditional law firms, meaning they can offer more competitive pricing. This is particularly attractive to first-time buyers who are looking to minimise costs where possible.

Many online conveyancers offer fixed-fee packages, which means there are no hidden costs or unexpected fees. In contrast, traditional conveyancing solicitors may charge an hourly rate or adjust fees depending on the complexity of the case, which can make budgeting more challenging.

2. Convenience and Flexibility

The ability to manage your conveyancing from the comfort of your own home is one of the biggest advantages of going online. There’s no need to take time off work to visit a solicitor’s office or spend time travelling back and forth for meetings. Everything can be handled digitally, giving you the flexibility to complete tasks at your own pace, from anywhere in the UK.

For busy professionals or those with family commitments, this flexibility can be invaluable. Whether you’re finalising contracts or responding to queries, online conveyancing allows you to handle everything without disrupting your daily routine.

3. Speed and Efficiency

Online conveyancers are often known for their speed. The digitisation of the process allows them to handle paperwork more quickly, with less manual processing involved. Many online conveyancing firms utilise automated systems that generate contracts, forms, and documents efficiently.

Because everything is done online, there’s often less waiting around for forms to be posted or for meetings to be scheduled. This can significantly speed up the process, making online conveyancing a great option if you’re looking for a quick sale or purchase.

The Drawbacks of Online Conveyancing

1. Lack of Personal Interaction

One of the main disadvantages of online conveyancing is the lack of personal interaction. Traditional solicitors often meet with clients face-to-face, building relationships and offering personalised advice throughout the process. For those unfamiliar with the legalities of property transactions, this personal touch can be incredibly reassuring.

Online conveyancing, by its very nature, lacks this personal element. While communication still takes place through emails and phone calls, some clients may feel more comfortable with the in-person support offered by traditional solicitors.

2. Limited Regional Expertise

A local solicitor often has a deeper understanding of specific regional regulations, which can be useful in navigating localised issues in property transactions. While online conveyancers operate nationally and are fully qualified, they may not have the same in-depth knowledge of specific areas as a solicitor based locally to the property you’re buying or selling.

For some, this isn’t a concern, as most legal aspects of conveyancing are standardised across the UK. However, if you are dealing with an unusual property, a heritage home, or specific regional complexities, a local conveyancer may have insights that an online conveyancer might lack.

3. Potential for Miscommunication

While many people are comfortable using online platforms, others may find the lack of face-to-face communication challenging. If you’re not tech-savvy, navigating online portals or keeping track of email chains can be frustrating, potentially leading to delays or misunderstandings.

Traditional solicitors are more likely to pick up the phone or invite you into the office to clarify issues. For some clients, this hands-on approach can make the process feel less daunting, especially if they are not comfortable with managing everything digitally.

Why Consider a Traditional, Bricks-and-Mortar Solicitor?

Despite the benefits of online conveyancing, many people still prefer the reassurance of a traditional, bricks-and-mortar law firm. Here’s why:

1. Personalised Support

When working with a traditional conveyancing solicitor, you have the benefit of face-to-face meetings where you can ask questions, discuss concerns, and receive direct advice. For first-time buyers or those unfamiliar with the conveyancing process, having a dedicated solicitor who is personally involved in your case can provide added peace of mind.

Solicitors at a traditional law firm are more likely to spend time getting to know you and your specific needs. This tailored service is especially valuable if your property transaction involves complex legal issues or if you prefer a more hands-on approach.

2. Established Local Connections

While online conveyancers can handle transactions anywhere in the UK, traditional solicitors often have strong connections with local estate agents, surveyors, and lenders. These relationships can help facilitate smoother communication and faster results, particularly if there are local regulations or quirks that need to be considered.

Even though property law is the same across the UK, different regions may have specific customs or practices. Local conveyancers can leverage their regional networks to help resolve issues quickly and efficiently.

Can Online Conveyancing Replace Traditional Solicitors?

The answer to this question depends largely on your personal preferences and circumstances. Online conveyancing offers a range of benefits, from cost savings to speed and flexibility, but it may not provide the level of personal support that some people need. Traditional solicitors, on the other hand, offer a more hands-on approach with tailored advice and face-to-face interactions.

Key Considerations:

  • Online conveyancing is generally more affordable and quicker, but lacks personal interaction and detailed local knowledge.
  • Traditional solicitors offer a personalised, hands-on service and can be particularly useful for complex transactions or if you prefer face-to-face interactions.

Conclusion: Which Option Is Right for You?

When it comes to choosing between an online conveyancing solicitor and a traditional, bricks-and-mortar firm, it ultimately comes down to your personal priorities. If you value convenience, affordability, and speed, online conveyancing could be the right choice for you. However, if you prefer more direct support, personal interaction, and local expertise, a traditional conveyancing solicitor may be a better fit.

Still unsure? Versus Law Solicitors offer the best of both worlds, with the expertise to handle property transactions online or in person. Whether you want the flexibility of managing your conveyancing digitally or the reassurance of face-to-face meetings, we’re here to guide you through the process and make your property transaction as smooth as possible.
