We decided to go with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Woodstock recently. After carefully reading the fine print I seeI am on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose an internet lawyer promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Woodstock?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the conveyances that abort. Also remember that such schemes generally do not cover outlay such as Woodstock conveyancing search fees.
The Woodstock conveyancing firm handling our Woodstock conveyancing has identified an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I am helping my mother sell her property in Woodstock. Will the conveyancer commission an energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was retained a required element of selling a house. An energy assessment must be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. This is not a task that law firms normally arrange. If you are using a Woodstock conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established Woodstock providers
