I hired a Longford based solicitor for my conveyancing in Longford last week. Upon checking the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line lawyer promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Longford?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those cases that do not proceed. Also remember that these deals generally do not protect you from expenses by way of example Longford conveyancing search charges.

Completion is due on the sale of our £225,000 maisonette in Longford in just under a week. The freeholder has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Longford?
Longford conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the buyer’s conveyancer sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
