I instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon recently. Going through the small print it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for charges even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to neutralise the conveyances that abort. You should be mindful that such offerings generally do not cover outlay e.g. Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing search charges.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Rawdon and Yeadon in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
