We instructed a Mirfield based firm for our conveyancing in Mirfield recently. Looking through the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are responsible for costs even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and use an on-line conveyancing brokerage who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Mirfield?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these offerings generally do not cover expenses for example Mirfield conveyancing search charges.
I am buying a property for cash in Mirfield. I have resided for the last dozen years in Mirfield. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Mirfield conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house one day, it may be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where properties with day to day issues can still throw up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Mirfield will provide you some helpful guidance concerning this.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Mirfield took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Mirfield prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a loan on such a house.

I need to change lawyers as my Mirfield lawyer is not on the lender's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet appointed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Mirfield that you're considering.
