We instructed a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Bideford last week. Reviewing the Terms it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bideford?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the conveyances that abort. Please beware that such offerings generally do not cover expenditure e.g. Bideford conveyancing search charges.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Bideford for our house purchase. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company Yorkshire Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Banks tend to imposes restrictions either the category or the number of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have reduced the amount of firms they permit to act for them. You should note that Yorkshire Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Yorkshire Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Bideford only carry out a couple conveyances a year.
