We hired a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Truro recently. After carefully reading the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and use an internet solicitor practice offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Truro?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise the cases that abort. Please beware that these deals rarely protect you from expenditure for instance Truro conveyancing search charges.

About to purchase a new build flat in Truro. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Truro

Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Truro

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Truro conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Truro?

Conveyancing - in Truro or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the defects before you move in.
