We went with a high street firm for our conveyancing in St Athan today. Upon checking the fine print it is apparent thatwe are responsible for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or use an on-line firm advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in St Athan?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to neutralise the conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that such offerings generally do not protect you from expenditure such as St Athan conveyancing search charges.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in St Athan and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street St Athan conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in St Athan. We have lived in St Athan for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
