We decided to go with a local firm for my conveyancing in Chislehurst recently. Looking through the official terms of business I seewe are liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint an internet lawyer who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Chislehurst?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to cover those cases that abort. You should be mindful that such promotions rarely protect you from outlay such as Chislehurst conveyancing search fees.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Chislehurst what is your top tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Chislehurst
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Chislehurst or throughout South East London is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the house moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially the bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Chislehurst is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a worrying creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above the other parties in the conveyancing process.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Chislehurst prior to appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of property.
