I opted for a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Birkenshaw today. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seeI am responsible for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or appoint a web based lawyer who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Birkenshaw?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those cases that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these arrangements rarely cover disbursements for instance Birkenshaw conveyancing search charges.
Various online forums that I have come across warn that are a common reason for obstruction in Birkenshaw conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Birkenshaw.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Birkenshaw. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Am I best advised to use a Birkenshaw conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal formalities but his firm is located 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Birkenshaw conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Birkenshaw know how is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were happy that should trump using an unknown Birkenshaw conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Birkenshaw 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Birkenshaw conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your last Birkenshaw conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
