I went with a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Worthing today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I go with them or choose a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Worthing?
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 neutralise the cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that these arrangements generally do not cover expenses for instance Worthing conveyancing search charges.
Our nephew is buying a new build apartment in Worthing with a home loan from HSBC. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the HSBC conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My colleague advised me that where I am buying in Worthing I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Worthing is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Worthing are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Worthing you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Worthing may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My cousin is buying a leasehold flat in Worthing. He was given a quote by the conveyancing practitioner recommended by the selling agents and it came to £1275 . It was 7 years ago since I sold and bought a house and it cost was £495. Have costs really gone up that much?
We would recommend that you contact 3 or 4 local Worthing conveyancing firms requesting prices. You should base your choice not solely on cost, but on promptness and on how comprehensive the response was.
