I instructed a high street firm for my conveyancing in Thurston yesterday. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seeI am on the hook for costs even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to appoint an internet solicitor practice offering no move no charge conveyancing in Thurston?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract those conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that such offerings rarely cover expenses e.g. Thurston conveyancing search expenses.
Would the conveyancing lawyers that you recommend carry out conveyancing in Thurston by way of an attended exchange?
There are a few conveyancing experts who can conduct personalised exchanges. You should contact us to receive a conveyancing quote and details as to dates.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of obstruction in Thurston conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Thurston.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Edwardian property in Thurston. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Coventry Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Coventry Building Society to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Thurston and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
My uncle has urged me to appoint his conveyancers in Thurston. Should I use them?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to get guidance from friends or family who have actually used the firm you're contemplating using.
