I decided to go with a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Mulbarton yesterday. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I notewe are liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based conveyancing company offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Mulbarton?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those conveyances that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these deals generally do not cover expenditure such your Mulbarton conveyancing search charges.
My brother and I have just bought a property in Mulbarton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Mulbarton?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Mulbarton. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a document called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Mulbarton.
The Mulbarton conveyancing firm that just started acting on my purchase in Mulbarton have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and my previous Mulbarton lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Mulbarton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Mulbarton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
My partner has suggested that I instruct his conveyancers in Mulbarton. Should I find my own solicitor?
