We chose a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in East Preston yesterday. Looking through the Terms it is apparent thatwe are responsible for fees even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in East Preston?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that such arrangements generally do not protect you from outlay e.g. East Preston conveyancing search fees.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when purchasing a residence in East Preston? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance to the chancel within the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in East Preston?
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors handling conveyancing in East Preston to continue to advocate a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in East Preston 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your property and order up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
How does conveyancing in East Preston differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in East Preston approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in East Preston tend to buy 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 used to new build conveyancing in East Preston or who has acted in the same development.

My conveyancers in East Preston have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the mortgage company. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
