I instructed a Shrewton based lawyer for my conveyancing in Shrewton today. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I notewe are liable for costs even if the movedoes not happen. Would I be best advised to choose a web based solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Shrewton?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise those transactions that fail to complete. Please beware that these deals tend not to protect you from disbursements e.g. Shrewton conveyancing search expenses.
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Shrewton. Almost all the appartments have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Shrewton?
You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in refusing to carrying out Shrewton conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal necessity to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. Where speed and expenses are primary concerns you should consider with your conveyancer about the options such as lack of search insurance available to you
