Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thirsk

We hired a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Thirsk today. Reviewing the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or choose a web based firm offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Thirsk?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise those conveyances that do not proceed.

I am purchasing a house for cash in Thirsk. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Thirsk. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Thirsk conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. On occasion premises with apparent issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Thirsk will provide you some practical guidance concerning this.
