We selected a high street firm for our conveyancing in Prenton last week. After carefully reading the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or instruct an internet firm offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Prenton?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to neutralise those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such promotions tend not to protect you from expenses e.g. Prenton conveyancing search charges.
We are looking to buy a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Prenton who is on the UBS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for UBS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Prenton.

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Prenton. I have chance upon a web site which appears to be the ideal answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via email that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
