We went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Barnes Cray today. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I seewe are on the hook for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select a web based firm promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Barnes Cray?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover the conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that such arrangements generally do not cover expenses for example Barnes Cray conveyancing search fees.

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
