Buying or selling a property?
Work with a trusted local conveyancer who cares as much as we do.
Buying or selling a property is a big deal — it’s one of the biggest financial commitments most of us will ever make. So why risk it all by choosing the wrong conveyancer?
At Campbells, we’ve been helping people move home across Northamptonshire and Warwickshire since 1985, and if there’s one thing we’ve learnt over the years, it’s this: the right conveyancer makes all the difference.
We work closely with a handpicked panel of local conveyancers and solicitors who we trust to get the job done properly. They’re friendly, efficient, and genuinely care about helping you move — which is more than we can say for some of the cheaper, out-of-area alternatives we’ve come across.

Quick Summary: 5 Reasons To Use Our Recommended Solicitors
-
Personal, Local Service You Can Trust
We recommend local conveyancers we know personally — reliable professionals who genuinely care about your move. -
Clear Communication = Less Stress
We stay in regular contact with them, which means fewer delays, better updates, and far less chasing for you. -
Faster, Smoother Transactions
Working as a team helps get your sale or purchase completed quickly and efficiently. -
We’ve Done the Homework For You
We only recommend conveyancers with a proven track record — ones we’d confidently use ourselves. -
Avoid the Pitfalls of Cheap or Online Solicitors
Budget firms may seem tempting, but they can cause costly delays and unnecessary stress when it matters most.
Why does it matter?
What a Good Conveyancer Does – And Why It Matters To You
Whilst this isn’t everything a good conveyancer does, these are the key steps that make a real difference to the success of your sale or purchase — and why it’s so important to choose someone who knows what they’re doing.
-
Carries Out Legal Checks
They check the legal title of the property, review the contract, and confirm the seller has the legal right to sell. This protects you from buying a property with unresolved ownership issues, legal disputes, or restrictions you weren’t aware of.
-
Orders Searches
They arrange vital property searches — including local authority, environmental, drainage and water. These reveal hidden risks such as planning applications, flood zones or future roadworks — all of which could impact the value or enjoyment of your property.
-
Raises Enquiries
They ask the seller’s solicitor follow-up questions based on the paperwork and search results. This helps clarify any grey areas like boundaries, extensions, rights of way, or lease terms — giving you confidence before committing.
-
Deals with Complex or Unexpected Issues
When enquiries uncover problems — like missing building regulation certificates, unknown rights of way, or unclear lease terms — a good solicitor will find a practical solution to keep things moving. These common hiccups can derail a sale if not handled properly. A good solicitor will fix issues quickly and explain your options clearly, so you’re protected and not left in the dark.
-
Reviews the Mortgage Offer
They carefully check your lender’s conditions and ensure the mortgage funds are handled correctly. This ensures your mortgage provider is happy to lend on the property, and that your money will be ready and released on time.
-
Prepares Contracts and Final Documents
They draft and approve all legal documents needed to transfer ownership correctly and lawfully. Mistakes in these documents can delay your move, lead to legal issues, or even cause the sale to fall through.
-
Handles Exchange and Completion
They coordinate the official exchange of contracts (making everything legally binding) and transfer funds on completion day. This is where the deal becomes official. A good conveyancer makes sure nothing goes wrong at the crucial final stage, so you get the keys without a hitch.
-
Registers the Property with the Land Registry
They update the Land Registry to confirm you as the new legal owner and pay any Stamp Duty on your behalf. This is the final step that protects your legal ownership and ensures the property is fully registered in your name for the future.
Why is our panel so special?
What makes our recommended conveyancers different?
We wouldn’t recommend someone if we didn’t truly believe they were good enough — every conveyancer on our panel has been carefully chosen because they consistently deliver a high standard of service, time and time again.
-
They Talk To Us (And You!)
We’re in contact with our panel conveyancers on a regular basis — often daily — so we always know what’s happening with your sale or purchase. That means fewer delays, less chasing, and more peace of mind for you.
-
Personal, Friendly Service
These are local professionals who understand that moving house is stressful, and who go out of their way to keep things simple and reassuring.
-
They Won’t Let You Down
We don’t recommend just anyone. Our panel has earned our trust over years of working together, and we know they’ll go the extra mile to get your move completed properly and on time.
-
No Nasty Surprises
We can get you a competitive quote with no hidden extras — often on a no-sale, no-fee basis — and we’ll explain everything up front.
Please don’t make this mistake…
Why You Should Be Careful With Budget or Online Conveyancers
We understand the temptation to go for the cheapest quote. But when it comes to conveyancing, you really do get what you pay for.
Many low-cost or online-only solicitors handle hundreds of files at once. You’re just a number to them — and unfortunately, your transaction can end up at the bottom of the pile.
-
They’re often difficult to reach.
-
They might not respond to us, or to you.
-
They sometimes miss deadlines, causing costly delays.
-
They may be based nowhere near your property, which means they might not understand local issues that can affect your transaction.
-
Worst of all, they won’t know us — and we won’t know them. That means we can’t step in if things start to go wrong.
A real team effort…
Working together for you
When you choose one of our recommended conveyancers, you get more than just a solicitor — you get a team. We work together to help you move faster and with less stress. If you’ve ever been through a difficult sale or purchase before, you’ll know just how valuable that is.
And yes, we might get a small referral fee — but that fee helps cover the time and admin it takes for us to stay involved in your transaction and support the conveyancer to get the job done. In the end, you benefit the most.
