I hired a local firm for our conveyancing in West Haddon yesterday. Upon checking the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for charges even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line conveyancing brokerage offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in West Haddon?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise the transactions that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these promotions tend not to cover outlay by way of example West Haddon conveyancing search charges.
I am selling our property in West Haddon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street West Haddon lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in West Haddon. We have lived in West Haddon for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in West Haddon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in West Haddon approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because new home sellers in West Haddon typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in West Haddon or who has acted in the same development.

My son is just in the process of moving home, he had his mortgage in principle. After the offer was accepted on apartment we called the building society to go forward with his. We were shocked to hear that banks do not accept all solicitor, they must be on their panel, is this correct?
Banks normally restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any West Haddon property lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
