I went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Stoke Newington last week. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am responsible for charges even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based lawyer who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Stoke Newington?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the transactions that do not proceed. Please beware that these deals generally do not cover expenses e.g. Stoke Newington conveyancing search expenses.

We are 18 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to do our conveyancing in Stoke Newington. I am not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A solicitor would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you will need to inform them of the new contact details and have the offer are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid added charges and frustration. That should be your first question of the new lawyers. Our find a solicitor tool should assist you in finding a lender approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Stoke Newington
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Stoke Newington. Conveyancing and Barnsley Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Stoke Newington who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Stoke Newington conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Stoke Newington conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Stoke Newington flat is Lower Flat 16A Beatty Road in September 2012. The premium payable was £13,577. The terms of the lease has been agreed between the Applicants and the First Respondent and the Tribunal did not seek to disturb that agreement. This case affected 1 flat.
