We hired a Greenwich based solicitor for my conveyancing in Greenwich last week. Reviewing the fine print it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to select a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Greenwich?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover the cases that do not proceed. Please beware that these offerings rarely protect you from expenditure for instance Greenwich conveyancing search expenses.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Greenwich? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Should you are unwilling to hand over ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Greenwich ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Greenwich.

My wife and I are disposing of a Greenwich house we inherited ten years ago in 2010. I have over ten years conveyancing know-how and, now retired, intend to do the conveyancing. The buyer's solicitor has informed me that their building society will not allow you to do your own conveyancing as they require the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage instructions to conveyancers from all CML members specify that If the vendor is not legally represented the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached if they are prepared to move forward.
