We chose a Bognor Regis based solicitor for our conveyancing in Bognor Regis today. Upon checking the Terms I noteI am liable for costs even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to appoint an internet solicitor practice who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bognor Regis?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to neutralise the cases that fail to complete. Please beware that these offerings rarely protect you from expenses such as Bognor Regis conveyancing search expenses.
Our solicitor has identified a a problem with the lease for the property we are buying in Bognor Regis. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must ensure that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the bank are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.
