I chose a local lawyer for my conveyancing in The Park last week. Upon checking the fine print I noteI am liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet solicitor practice offering no completion no cost conveyancing in The Park?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to counteract those cases that abort. You should be mindful that such schemes generally do not cover disbursements for example The Park conveyancing search fees.
We note that you have a search directory listing law firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in The Park?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in The Park.
We're in The Park, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in The Park prior to instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders may not grant a loan on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in The Park.

Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on a house in The Park I would like to talk to a solicitor about myhome move in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
