We hired a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Hassocks today. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I notewe are responsible for costs even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet lawyer promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hassocks?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise those transactions that abort. Dont forget that these schemes rarely protect you from expenditure for example Hassocks conveyancing search charges.
Can the conveyancing lawyers listed on your site carry out auction conveyancing in Hassocks?

My husband and I are purchasing a 2 bedroom apartment in Hassocks with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society.We have a Hassocks conveyancing lawyer but Coventry Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Coventry Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will be on the Coventry Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society
I'm purchasing a new build house in Hassocks benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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'm refinancing my existing property to a BTL mortgage with TSB and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on another house. The area we are looking at is Hassocks. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to check that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are the solicitor will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make apparent your desired outcome and needs.
