I hired a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith last week. After carefully reading the official terms of business I seeI am responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Chapel En Le Frith?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise the conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that these deals rarely protect you from disbursements such as Chapel En Le Frith conveyancing search costs.
Our grandson is buying a newly built flat in Chapel En Le Frith with a mortgage from Principality. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Principality conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Principality conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
