We instructed a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Wynyard yesterday. Going through the small print I seeI am liable for fees even if the movedoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and select a web based lawyer offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Wynyard?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset those cases that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such schemes generally do not cover outlay such your Wynyard conveyancing search expenses.

I am buying a property and the lawyer has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the property could be obligated to pay as it falls into the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this strictly warranted for conveyancing in Wynyard

Unless a prior acquisition of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Wynyard to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Wynyard 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.

I am looking for a conveyancing lawyer in Wynyard for my purchase. Is there any facility to review a solicitor's complaints history with the legal regulator?

We are about to acquiring a property in Wynyard. Conveyancing is not complete but we would like have the amount we are are purchasing for confidential from sites such as Zoopla. How do I make sure this is not revealed?

The Land Registry are legally required to disclose price paid information on a register of the title for residential properties countrywide which includes homes in Wynyard. The Title Register is an open document, so the Land Registry would be breaking the law if they did not allow access to the register.

You can make a request of the Land Registry to withhold the amount paid entry but the answer would be a No.
