I opted for a New Cross based solicitor for my conveyancing in New Cross today. Upon checking the official terms of business I seeI am on the hook for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or choose a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no completion no cost conveyancing in New Cross?

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in New Cross. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in New Cross - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
