We chose a Chathill based solicitor for our conveyancing in Chathill today. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I noteI am responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to select an internet solicitor practice offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Chathill?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that abort. Do bear in mind that these offerings rarely cover expenses such as Chathill conveyancing search expenses.
In the event thatI were to buy a straightforward housein Chathill mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Chathill?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the Chathill conveyancing searches. A property lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the sellers solicitor, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.
Should our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Chathill.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Chathill. Some people will acquire a property in Chathill, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Chathill. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses stemming from an inaccurate response. The buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be carried out.

I am purchasing my first flat in Chathill with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
