I selected a high street firm for my conveyancing in Chigwell last week. Looking through the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and select a web based lawyer advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Chigwell?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those conveyances that abort. Please beware that these arrangements generally do not cover expenditure such your Chigwell conveyancing search expenses.
The Chigwell conveyancing firm handling our Chigwell conveyancing has discovered a difference when comparing the information in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
When will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Chigwell and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Chigwell you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the firms we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chigwell)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Chigwell conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Chigwell conveyancing practice) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Chigwell conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:

If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not? How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?
