I instructed a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Marple Bridge today. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seewe are responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Marple Bridge?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to offset the transactions that abort. Also remember that such arrangements rarely cover disbursements for example Marple Bridge conveyancing search costs.
I am downsizing from our house in Marple Bridge and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Marple Bridge. Having lived in Marple Bridge for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 sickness)
I used Action Conveyancing several years past for my conveyancing in Marple Bridge. I now require my file but the law firm has closed. What do I do?

I'm buying my first flat in Marple Bridge with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Should I be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Marple Bridge conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often suggestions from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend lawyers to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to choose your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some banks have an approved list of law firms you must use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
