I opted for a Mossley Hill based firm for our conveyancing in Mossley Hill today. Looking through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line firm promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Mossley Hill?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those transactions that do not proceed. Dont forget that these deals tend not to cover expenditure such as Mossley Hill conveyancing search charges.
When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Mossley Hill and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Mossley Hill you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mossley Hill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I'm buying a new build house in Mossley Hill with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

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%.

Am I best advised to go with a Mossley Hill conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can perform the legal work but her office is approximately 350miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Mossley Hill conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were happy that should trump using an unknown Mossley Hill conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
