We went with a local firm for our conveyancing in Henfield yesterday. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are responsible for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or choose an internet solicitor practice promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Henfield?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the cases that abort. Also remember that such schemes generally do not protect you from expenses such your Henfield conveyancing search charges.
I am the registered owner of a freehold residence in Henfield but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Henfield and has limited impact for conveyancing in Henfield but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
I used Action Conveyancing several years ago for my conveyancing in Henfield. I now require my file but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

I am purchasing a new build house in Henfield with a loan from TSB. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it would affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
