I went with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Bucklesham recently. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Bucklesham?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to cover the transactions that do not proceed. Please beware that such arrangements tend not to cover disbursements such your Bucklesham conveyancing search charges.

I am downsizing from our house in Bucklesham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street Bucklesham lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bucklesham. We have lived in Bucklesham for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

How does conveyancing in Bucklesham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bucklesham come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Bucklesham usually acquire the real estate, 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 Bucklesham or who has acted in the same development.
