We selected a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Harringay yesterday. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are liable for charges even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based lawyer offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Harringay?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those cases that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these promotions tend not to cover expenses for instance Harringay conveyancing search costs.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Harringay I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Harringay for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
