I opted for a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Catterick Garrison last week. Going through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct a web based conveyancing company promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Catterick Garrison?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to neutralise those cases that abort. Also remember that these deals rarely cover outlay e.g. Catterick Garrison conveyancing search charges.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Catterick Garrison. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be with the lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Catterick Garrison relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
