The Home of conveyancing
House sales and purchases
Quite simply, we want to change how you experience the process of moving house. Whether you’re a first time buyer, a home mover, a downsizer, a buy to letter, or anything else in between, we recognise that the journey of buying a house or apartment is often cited as the most stressful experience of someone’s life. As much as we can, we want to change that for you.
At Armstrong Solicitors, we’ve developed what we think is Northern Ireland’s first and only in-house conveyancing web app. This innovative tool keeps you in control of your move, providing real-time updates via email and SMS at every key stage. Updates are also shared with your estate agent and mortgage adviser, ensuring everyone stays informed. Our goal is to make your home move as simple and transparent as possible, with explanatory updates to guide you through the process.
Transparency starts the moment you visit our website. You can get a no-obligation fee quote for your property case instantly. Our quote system breaks down professional fees, outlays, taxes, and charges clearly and accurately. The more details you provide, the more precise your quote will be. Click GET A QUOTE at the top of the page to get started.
Conveyancing is the legal process of transferring property ownership, and while many firms handle this work, not all approaches are the same. At Armstrong Solicitors, we don’t use paralegals to manage your case. Instead, your file will be handled by a fully qualified solicitor dedicated to your needs. Our property solicitors focus exclusively on conveyancing, so they are always available to address your concerns without distractions from other legal areas.
Choose Armstrong Solicitors for expert, client-focused conveyancing services that prioritise transparency and quality.
House Sales and Purchases
Moving house or purchasing a buy to let property is likely to be one of the biggest or the biggest financial transaction of your life.
Fixed Fees
Fees are always an important issue when conveyancing is discussed. The professional fees that solicitors charge vary widely across Northern Ireland and even in the same town. By all means shop around, but please, please, don’t automatically opt for the cheapest quotation.
Think about what you’re being offered. Consider how your request for a fee quotation was answered. Was the call answered quickly? (Or was the online process easy?). Were they friendly? Did they seem to know what they were talking about? How quickly were you provided with a quotation? Remember that ALL quotations for residential conveyancing MUST be in writing and in the format set down by the Law Society of Northern Ireland. Did the person seem interested in you? Did you feel that you could rely on them to act for you?
Legal Fees
Armstrong Solicitors’ fees for conveyancing services are cost effective, they’re transparent, and they’re available immediately. We won’t be the cheapest in every single case, but based on the quality service that we provide, we believe that our costs represent excellent value for money.
Remortgaging
Instruct us
If you are planning to remortgage your home, you may be encouraged to use a “fee free” deal with one of the large lenders where you don’t pay legal fees up front. Often that looks like an attractive option, but there’s a catch. When you instruct us, we act for you, and we have a contract with you to provide legal services. We also act for your lender as well, and in truth we owe a duty to both of you. Importantly, however, we do have a duty to you as our client.
When you opt for a ‘fee free’ deal, the panel solicitor chosen by your lender usually acts only for the lender, and it’s up to you as the borrower to take your own legal advice. Many people don’t take independent legal advice at this point, and that’s often a mistake.
