I hired a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Penge last week. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to select an on-line firm advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Penge?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract those cases that abort. Do bear in mind that these schemes rarely cover expenses e.g. Penge conveyancing search costs.
I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Penge. Almost all the properties have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Penge?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Penge conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Penge.
Completed the sale of my flat in Penge last November yet the purchaser is calling every few hours to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Penge. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Penge - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
