We opted for a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Torfaen last week. Going through the official terms of business I noteI am liable for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Torfaen?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover the cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that these arrangements generally do not protect you from disbursements by way of example Torfaen conveyancing search costs.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Torfaen?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Torfaen your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Normally this is asked for to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is as part of the total price then this will be required shortly in advance of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is needed will be payable a few days prior to the day of completion.
Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to list practices on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for example in Torfaen?
We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.

In the event that you have not formally instructed a conveyancer to start work and at this stage simply received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Torfaen that you're considering.
