We chose a high street firm for our conveyancing in Nether Edge recently. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I notewe are responsible for fees even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to choose an internet solicitor practice offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Nether Edge?
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 abort. Also remember that these deals tend not to protect you from expenditure for example Nether Edge conveyancing search charges.
My lawyer in Nether Edge is not on the Virgin Money Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Virgin Money approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Nether Edge solicitors but Virgin Money will need to use a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing charges and cause frustration.
- Choose a new practitioner to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Virgin Money panel
