I decided to go with a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Highcliffe recently. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I seeI am responsible for fees even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and select an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Highcliffe?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. Also remember that these promotions rarely protect you from expenditure such as Highcliffe conveyancing search expenses.
Me and my wife are buying our first home. Our lawyer has messagedto see if we want to purchase extra conveyancing searches. Frankly we are clueless as to what's appropriate for conveyancing in Highcliffe

I own a freehold residence in Highcliffe but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Highcliffe and has limited impact for conveyancing in Highcliffe 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 generation of new 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 in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
