It's perfectly possible to carry out conveyancing yourself, but it can be complicated and time-consuming. You could also end up in a terrible mess if something goes wrong, so it’s highly recommended you find a solicitor to do it for you. Most people instruct licensed conveyancers to act on their behalf, as they’re specialists.
Conveyancers are solicitors who focus on property law and are regulated by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers (CLC) in England and Wales. They can sometimes work out cheaper than a solicitor, but a licensed conveyancer can only deal with conveyancing. If any problems arise that do not relate to property law, you will have to call in a solicitor.
A solicitor can carry out conveyancing but is also licensed to advise on other areas of the law.
