I went with a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Hucknall recently. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hucknall?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover the cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that these deals tend not to protect you from disbursements e.g. Hucknall conveyancing search charges.
