We selected a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Disley last week. Upon checking the Terms I noteI am on the hook for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to select a web based lawyer who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Disley?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that such deals tend not to protect you from expenses for instance Disley conveyancing search expenses.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Disley with a loan from National Westminster Bank. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Disley
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Disley conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Disley. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner 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 be sure 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).
