Finding and appointing a solicitor for your house purchase or sale is a two minute job using the Yorkshire Building Society Conveyancing service.

Whenever you apply for a mortgage, either because you are moving house or want to find a better mortgage deal, you will usually need to appoint a solicitor to look after your legal interests and ensure everything progresses to completion without any unnecessary hitches.

The YBS Conveyancing service will generate you a list of extremely competitive, exact quotes from the highly professional panel of over 170 solicitor firms.

The list of quotes can be sorted based on the criteria most important to you (fee, distance, performance rating as measured by previous users).

Once you have selected your solicitor, they can be instructed at the click of a button and your conveyancing can start immediately.

• Exact, guaranteed quotes
• No sale, No fee*
• Exemplary customer service levels
• A wide choice of highly professional specialist conveyancing firms
• Receive real time email or SMS text updates
• Ability to track your case online 24/7

The service standards are rigorous and include accepting clients within 24 hours and keeping them updated daily. What's more, you can rate the solicitor once you have completed your house purchase/sale and others will be able to view your rating.

This provides an added incentive for solicitors to ensure they do a good job.

YBS Conveyancing is completely independent and will search for a solicitor on your behalf based on any of the following criteria:

• Price
• Their geographic location
• Service rating (awarded to them by previous users).

No. Using this service you will be kept updated on all progress relating to your case online or via email or by text, so you do not need a local solicitor. Of course, if it is important to you that your solicitor is local, you can choose this option.

The entire conveyancing process can be completed without you having to visit your solicitor. This gives you the option of choosing the most competitive firm as opposed to the most local.

• All solicitors agree to rigorous service standards and United Legal Sevices Ltd (on behalf of Yorkshire Building Society) constantly monitor service quality to ensure all conveyancing work meets high standards
• They are rated by people who have used them ? and you can see the ratings - and comments left by people, online before you make a choice

Your solicitor will update the conveyancing system and:

• You can track the progress of your conveyancing work and view the case history online, at any time to suit you
• You can also choose to be sent email or SMS text update messages

You can still:

• Talk to your solicitor
• Communicate by letter, email or meetings
