We went with a Roehampton based lawyer for my conveyancing in Roehampton yesterday. Going through the terms of engagement I seewe are liable for costs even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I go with them or choose a web based conveyancing company offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Roehampton?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover the conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these promotions generally do not protect you from outlay e.g. Roehampton conveyancing search expenses.
I am acquiring a house for cash in Roehampton. I have resided for the last twelve years in Roehampton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Roehampton conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. Do take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where premises with functional issues can still throw up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Roehampton will be able to give you some sensible advice here.
I own a freehold house in Roehampton but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Roehampton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Roehampton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

I have been advised by a number of estate agents in Roehampton to locate a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My brother has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancers in Roehampton. Should I choose my own solicitor?
