I chose a Blackpool based solicitor for my conveyancing in Blackpool yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and choose an on-line firm offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Blackpool?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those conveyances that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that such deals rarely cover outlay by way of example Blackpool conveyancing search expenses.

My Solicitor in Blackpool is not on the TSB Conveyancing Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the TSB list of approved lawyers?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Blackpool solicitors but TSB will need to retain a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees as well as result in delays.
- Find an alternative lawyer to to deal with the purchase, obviously checking they are TSB approved.
- Persuade your TSB solicitor to try to join the TSB panel
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Blackpool. Conveyancing is daunting 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.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Blackpool
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Blackpool is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Blackpool are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Blackpool you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blackpool may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Am I right to be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Blackpool conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all suggest lawyers to use. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your own lawyer. Don't forget that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your home move.
