How can I check a property solicitors success rate before instructing them?

A LegalEase Team Answered by

There is no standard or independently verified “success rate” for property solicitors, because conveyancing outcomes depend on the transaction, the parties involved, the lender and issues with the property. A solicitor should be able to explain their experience with similar matters, likely timescales, fees and how they handle delays or problems, but be cautious about relying on impressive figures without evidence. Check whether they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA), read reviews alongside other information, and ask for recommendations from people you trust. For a significant or unusual transaction, consider speaking to a regulated property solicitor before making your choice.
