We chose a Filey based solicitor for my conveyancing in Filey last week. After carefully reading the fine print it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Filey?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those cases that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these deals generally do not cover expenses such as Filey conveyancing search charges.
