I went with a Lutterworth based solicitor for our conveyancing in Lutterworth today. Looking through the fine print it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or choose an on-line lawyer advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Lutterworth?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract the transactions that fail to complete. Please beware that these arrangements generally do not cover disbursements for example Lutterworth conveyancing search charges.
My flat in Lutterworth is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does the conveyancer need to be required to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
I require quick conveyancing in Lutterworth as I am under a deadline to complete within one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to do searches although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Lutterworth the following are instances of issues that can show up and therefore affect future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Lutterworth?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Lutterworth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Lutterworth. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

I was advised by a number of estate agents in Lutterworth to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your services over and above another?
We refuse to offer any commission for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
