Despite wages beginning to increase and the economy continuing to grow, people are still susceptible to price when it comes to legal services.
Unfortunately, recent research from the Bar Standards Board (BSB), has found that there remains a perpetual stereotype that legal services are too expensive for the average consumer.
Perceptions of affordability prevent a staggering 63% of the public from accessing vital legal services, with the Legal Services Board data also highlighting ‘perceived high costs’ as a barrier to legal services.
Additionally, Government announcements that probate fees are set to rise will only squeeze the Wills and probate sector even more, making it increasingly more hostile to win new business.
When price becomes an increasingly important consideration in the sector, consumers will be driven by the cost of service and the value for money they will receive. As the market becomes more competitive, setting yourself apart from the competition will be increasingly important.
Emphasising your expertise, knowledge and experience in the Wills and probate sector, will be imperative to converting potential into actual business.
