I hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Bishopsworth last week. Looking through the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or appoint a web based lawyer promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bishopsworth?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover the conveyances that abort. Do bear in mind that these schemes tend not to protect you from disbursements by way of example Bishopsworth conveyancing search costs.
Our son is about to exchange on a new build apartment in Bishopsworth with a home loan from Coventry BS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Bishopsworth. Conveyancing and Alliance & Leicester mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1992.

You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
