I hired a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Curdworth yesterday. Looking through the fine print it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and select an on-line lawyer promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Curdworth?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to neutralise those conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that these arrangements rarely protect you from outlay for instance Curdworth conveyancing search charges.
We hope to to purchase with Coventry BS. I visited a couple of local firms yet am unable to find a Curdworth conveyancing firm on the Coventry BS approved list. Could you help?

How does conveyancing in Curdworth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Curdworth contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Curdworth typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Curdworth or who has acted in the same development.

Last May I purchased a leasehold property in Curdworth. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
