I hired a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Stockport today. Upon checking the fine print I noteI am responsible for costs even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or appoint an internet solicitor practice promising no completion no cost conveyancing in Stockport?

Do check but the the probability is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank to see if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Stockport.

How does conveyancing in Stockport differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Stockport come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Stockport usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Stockport or who has acted in the same development.
