We selected a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Cowfold today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or choose a web based solicitor practice promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Cowfold?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the cases that fail to complete. You should be mindful that such schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Cowfold conveyancing search costs.

My Cowfold lawyer has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he must check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach legitimate?

Your must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Cowfold is more expensive?

The conveyancing costs on a leasehold property in Cowfold is inevitably more expensive than on a freehold residence. This is because there is an amount of extra time necessary in dealing with the freeholder and management company to obtain information about whether the rent and service fee have been paid and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
