I selected a Rottingdean based firm for our conveyancing in Rottingdean yesterday. After carefully reading the small print it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or use a web based lawyer promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Rottingdean?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract the conveyances that abort. Do bear in mind that such arrangements generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Rottingdean conveyancing search expenses.
I am considering applying for a Co-operative mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Rottingdean with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Co-operative ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
