We went with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Angel recently. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and use a web based lawyer promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Angel?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those cases that abort. Dont forget that such offerings rarely protect you from disbursements for example Angel conveyancing search fees.
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Angel. The vast majority the appartments are already disposed of. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Angel?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Angel conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Angel.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Angel is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Angel are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Angel you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Angel may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
