We hired a local firm for our conveyancing in Locksbottom last week. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Locksbottom?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract the conveyances that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these offerings tend not to protect you from expenses for instance Locksbottom conveyancing search costs.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Locksbottom as I am faced with pressure to sign on the dotted line within 2 weeks. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Locksbottom concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Locksbottom I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Locksbottom for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Why can't I complete my conveyancing in Locksbottom on a bank holiday?
Because on completion the money needs to pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancer and currently this can only take place on a working day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
