I instructed a local firm for our conveyancing in Bilston yesterday. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seewe are responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing company who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bilston?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset those transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that these arrangements rarely cover outlay e.g. Bilston conveyancing search fees.

I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Bilston. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bilston and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
