I hired a Liskeard based lawyer for my conveyancing in Liskeard recently. After carefully reading the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to choose a web based solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Liskeard?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise those conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that such deals generally do not cover disbursements e.g. Liskeard conveyancing search costs.
Will lawyers request an advanced payment for my conveyancing in Liskeard?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Liskeard your solicitor will request that you put them with funds to cover the search fees. Normally this is needed to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the down payment is payable against the sale price then this should be required immediately in advance of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days ahead of the completion date.

We were going to get a OIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Liskeard solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Liskeard solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Liskeard and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to business tenants, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a new lease and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

Should I use a Liskeard conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? We have a good friend who can perform the legal work however her office is over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a local Liskeard conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Liskeard conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
