We went with a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Wool recently. Reviewing the terms of engagement I notewe are on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based firm offering no move no charge conveyancing in Wool?

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Wool. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Wool - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties.

Where you acquire the property you will have to pay this amount, usually in instalments during the year.
