We went with a Bramford based firm for our conveyancing in Bramford yesterday. Upon checking the fine print it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based firm advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Bramford?

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Bramford from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Bramford can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. A minority of Bramford leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. Many landlords or managing agents in Bramford levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bramford. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Bramford state that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Where you dont have the approvals to hand you should not contact the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a re-issued share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Bramford home move. Where a reissued share is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible.
