We decided to go with a Howden based firm for my conveyancing in Howden recently. Reviewing the fine print I noteI am on the hook for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet solicitor practice promising no move no charge conveyancing in Howden?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these offerings generally do not protect you from expenditure such your Howden conveyancing search fees.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Howden. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Howden involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
