I instructed a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Basildon last week. Upon checking the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and use an internet lawyer advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Basildon?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise the conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that such deals generally do not cover outlay for example Basildon conveyancing search fees.
My partner and I have lately acquired a house in Basildon. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Basildon?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Basildon. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner completes a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Basildon.
