We instructed a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Epworth recently. Going through the Terms I noteI am responsible for fees even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or use an on-line solicitor practice promising no move no charge conveyancing in Epworth?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract those conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such offerings tend not to cover expenses by way of example Epworth conveyancing search expenses.

My wife and I have just purchased a house in Epworth. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Epworth?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Epworth. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Epworth.
