I decided to go with a Heathfield based solicitor for my conveyancing in Heathfield last week. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing company advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Heathfield?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover the transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that such deals rarely cover expenses for example Heathfield conveyancing search costs.

Where you are unclear, ask your solicitor to explain.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Heathfield
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Heathfield conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
