I chose a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Cowfold last week. After carefully reading the Terms I notewe are responsible for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line solicitor practice who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Cowfold?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract the cases that do not proceed. Also remember that these schemes tend not to protect you from disbursements for instance Cowfold conveyancing search fees.
My wife and I have just purchased a house in Cowfold. We have noticed several problems with the property which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Cowfold?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Cowfold. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a form referred to as a SPIF. If the information provided is inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Cowfold.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Cowfold is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
