We instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Chester today. Looking through the Ts and Cs I notewe are responsible for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Chester?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise those cases that fail to complete. Also remember that such deals generally do not cover outlay e.g. Chester conveyancing search costs.

What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Chester
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Chester conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am aiming to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Chester. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent however this should only be done after the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Chester or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Chester.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Chester off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
I am buying a new build house in Chester benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with Yorkshire Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I was advised by two or three local estate agents in Chester to select a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
