The AA has set up a new firm to provide conveyancing services for people buying a home.
AA Home Conveyancing offers competitive, fixed legal fees and includes ‘mover protection’ which may cover costs if the deal falls through.
This new service comes on the back of the launch last December of AA Law, following granting of an alternative business structure (ABS) licence, which allows non-solicitor firms to undertake legal work
Mark Huggins, managing director of AA Ventures, said: “This is a logical development of the AA’s expanding range of home and legal services and a perfect fit with the AA’s ‘most trusted brand’ status.
“It’s launched at a time when the home sales and prices are beginning to pick up, with 19 per cent more homes changing hands than a year ago.”
Huggins added: “Many people are unsure where to go for conveyancing and selecting a suitable law firm can be daunting. AA Home Conveyancing provides an instant online quote that includes all costs that might be expected with a home sale or purchase.”
AA already has a strong presence in the home services arena. This includes AA Home Membership which offers home emergency cover and can include routine maintenance of plumbing, heating and electrical systems.
The AA is also a home insurance broker and, in addition provides a range of low-cost online legal documents with legal advice, covering issues such as building work, complaints and disputes, probate, will writing and many others.
“Most are free of charge to AA home insurance policyholders who also have legal expenses cover,” Huggins pointed out.
AA Home Conveyancing is provided through a panel of specialist conveyancing law firms regulated by either the Council for Licensed Conveyancers or the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority.
