Why you don't need a conveyancer based in Norwich

In the past, most people used their local solicitor for their conveyancing. You would visit their office in your nearest town or city and all documents would be hand-produced and posted or delivered by hand.

That service came at a price, however, and 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 Norwich or perhaps not even in Norfolk.

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 – we even once 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, in fact you need never leave your home. Our conveyancers can talk you through the whole conveyancing process via phone and email, and everything works just as smoothly as it would if we were just down the road.

Fees for conveyancing in Norwich

Introduction to Norwich

Norwich is a city and the county town of Norfolk in East Anglia. The city is around 100 miles north east of London and has a population of approximately 141,800 according to mid-2016 estimates.

Until the Industrial revolution, Norwich was one of the most important and most populous settlements in the country. The city's economy was historically based around the wool-trade and, later, manufacturing, in particular revolving around the shoe making industry. However, these industries have declined in recent years with the service sector now being the major source of employment for many Norwich residents. The most notable of these employers is Aviva, a multi-national insurance company, however, there are many other finance and insurance companies based in the city. Overall, business and financial services make up 31% of Norwich's employment, followed up by public services at 26%.

Retail also plays a large role in the city's economy, and in 2006 it was ranked as the eighth most prosperous shopping destination in the UK. In 1993, the Castle Mall was one of the first major shopping centres to be opened in Norwich. It boasts an ingenious solution to preserving historic retail space, as it is largely built into the side of a hill. Another shopping centre, Intu Chapelfield, was opened in 2005 and is now the largest shopping centre in Norwich, accommodating 80 stores, including many 'keystone' stores such as Apple and House of Fraser. Another shopping centre in the city is called Anglia Square.

Tourism is also an important source of income for Norwich (accounting for around 7% of employment) and the city boasts a number of popular attractions. Norwich Cathedral and Norwich Castle are both Grade I Listed buildings and there is an annual arts festival, the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, which promotes East Anglian art. The city is also home to a number of theatres, music venues and other cultural attractions, including Norwich Arts Centre, OPEN in Bank Plain and The King of Hearts in Fye Bridge Street.

Norwich also has a number of excellent sports venues, including most famously Carrow Road, home to Norwich City football club. With a capacity of 27,244, Carrow Road is the largest venue in the city and, as well as football, it has hosted a number of concerts over the year, including by international stars such as Elton John, George Michael and Rod Stewart.

The city has excellent local and national transport links, being situated on the A47, which links it to Great Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, and ultimately Peterborough. Norwich is also linked to Cambridge via the A11, which leads to the M11 motorway for London and the M25.

Norwich Railway Station is the main station in the city and is mainly served by Abellio Greater Anglia Trains, with East Midlands Trains also providing services to areas such as Liverpool Lime Street, Manchester Piccadilly and Sheffield. Abellio Greater Anglia offer services to stations such as London Liverpool Street, Cambridge and Ipswich.

Norwich is also home to Norwich International Airport, which provides overseas services to areas such as Tenerife, Palma and Amsterdam, as well as providing many domestic flights.
