I selected a Tower Hill based lawyer for my conveyancing in Tower Hill today. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use an internet lawyer promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Tower Hill?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract the cases that abort. Please beware that these deals rarely cover outlay by way of example Tower Hill conveyancing search expenses.
The owners of the house we are purchasing are using a conveyancing practitioner in Tower Hill who has recommended a exclusivity contract with a down payment 6,000. Are such arrangements recommended for Tower Hill conveyancing transactions?
There are two main downsides with signing a lock out agreement (sometimes referred to as a no-shop agreement) is that it diverts attention away from making progress with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Tower Hill conveyancing solicitors for this reason. The other main negative is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is not likely to win an injunction to prohibit the seller completing the sale to a third party, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in restricted scenarios, the additional payment of penalties.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Tower Hill that you're thinking of instructing.
