We hired a local firm for our conveyancing in Crook recently. Going through the small print I notewe are liable for charges even if the movedoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing company who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Crook?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that these offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Crook conveyancing search charges.

Crook conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Kent Reliance directly.

I have been advised by my lawyer that defective lease insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Crook conveyancing?

We had chosen solicitors locally in Crook on the HSBC solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional charge for handling the HSBC mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by HSBC?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by HSBC but by your Crook conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the HSBC panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Clydesdale or your financial adviser and finalise any relevant paperwork. Clydesdale will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Crook.

You should want to discover as much as possible regarding the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Enquire of other people whether they are happy with them. Finally, be sure you understand the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and specifically how they are spending that money. How much is the ground rent and service charge? How many years remain on the lease?
