Hopefully this one will be different. I always thought of blogs as an indulgence - but I have so many ideas running through my head constantly and wake up each morning excited to read what everyone else in the blog community has written that I thought it would be a fun to try this whole blogging thing out.
My brother has an excellent politics-law based blog called James5.org and his wife writes under Hunger at James5.org
Today we swim - Eden's second lesson. It's my turn in the pool today but I won't be posting pics!
Coming up in my weekly posts:
- DIY conveyancing - is it worth it/do-able for the ordinary homebuyer?
- Crafty stuff for kids - quick presents for toddlers
- Winter handmade clothing treats - handmade and knitted clothing from my Mum
- Pretty Things - Fashion things that I love.
Conveyancing is a really complex process. It's amazing how many people out there are trying to promote DIY conveyancing. This is just crazy. Why don't people just forget about saving a few hundred pounds, and appoint a qualified professional to do the work. After all, you wouldn't try to perform an operation on yourself, or let someone unqualified to it, just to save some money. There are many things in life where DIY cost cutting is inappropriate and risky, and conveyancing is one of them!
ReplyDeleteIf you work in the legal profession - sure do your own conveyancing. If you do not then do yourself a favour and engage someone to do it for you (unless you have all the time in the world to actually learn about the law - so you understand what you are doing). If you hire a reputable conveyancer as opposed to a lawyer it should only cost $1,000.00 - money well spent if you ask me (but make sure they are GOOD... if you engage an average one, you might as well do it yourself). I can't even begin to start how many things can go wrong in the settlement process.
