I hired a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Parkwood Springs recently. Reviewing the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based lawyer who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Parkwood Springs?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise the conveyances that do not go ahead. Also remember that these deals tend not to protect you from expenses e.g. Parkwood Springs conveyancing search fees.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Parkwood Springs I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Parkwood Springs for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I am a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the local agent to do our conveyancing in Parkwood Springs. We are not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?
A solicitor would have to be very poor to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been sent? If so you will need to inform them of the replacement solicitor and have the offer are re-sent. The solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid added charges and complications. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers.

Developers have suggested I use a conveyancer and I've received a quote from them. It's nearly two hundred pounds less expensive than my preferred Parkwood Springs property lawyer. What's the catch?
Builders normally have panels of lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s paperwork and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to use a preferred solicitor for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction stall when they want exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not opting for the suggested lawyer is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should keep with your local Parkwood Springs conveyancer.
