We went with a Settle based solicitor for my conveyancing in Settle today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I noteI am liable for charges even if the movedoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet conveyancing company offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Settle?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise the cases that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these offerings tend not to cover disbursements by way of example Settle conveyancing search expenses.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Settle and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Settle lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Settle. Having lived in Settle for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I'm buying my first flat in Settle benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about this extras as it could impact my mortgage with the lender. 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.
My husband and I may need to rent out our Settle basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Settle conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in Settle do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Settle, conveyancing having been completed April 2004. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Settle with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2080
With only 55 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
The property lawyers carrying out our conveyancing in Settle has forwarded papers to review that state the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all properties in Settle should be registered?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Settle are now registered with HMLR there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Settle that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Settle property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Settle conveyancing practitioners should be familiar with such matters but if any uncertainty exists the standard recommendation presently is for the current owners to register it first and subsequently deal with the sale conveyance - this can though naturally result in a significant delay.
