I instructed a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Kettering recently. Going through the terms of engagement I seeI am on the hook for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line conveyancing company who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Kettering?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those cases that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these schemes generally do not cover outlay by way of example Kettering conveyancing search expenses.
My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Kettering and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kettering. Having lived in Kettering for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have todaydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Kettering for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Kettering conveyancing specialists.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Kettering before instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks may not grant a mortgage on this type of house.

Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Kettering.

I'm buying a flat in Kettering. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't see my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the company must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
