I hired a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Wolverley today. After carefully reading the small print it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and use an on-line lawyer advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Wolverley?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset the transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these schemes tend not to cover outlay by way of example Wolverley conveyancing search fees.

How does conveyancing in Wolverley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wolverley contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Wolverley usually purchase the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Wolverley or who has acted in the same development.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Wolverley with the aim of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Wolverley can be avoided where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Wolverley state that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Where you fail to have the consents in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is less than 80 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved.
