We hired a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Leigh yesterday. Going through the small print I notewe are responsible for charges even if the movedoes not happen. Should I go with them or instruct an on-line solicitor practice promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Leigh?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these promotions generally do not protect you from disbursements by way of example Leigh conveyancing search charges.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Leigh is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Leigh are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Leigh you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Leigh may decide 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.
Is it possible to change firm as I have to choose a firm on the Platform Home Loans Ltd conveyancing list. I instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Leigh five minutes from me but the firm is not accepted by Platform Home Loans Ltd

My brother has suggested that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Leigh. Do I follow his advice?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to get feedback from friends or relatives who have actually used the solicitor you're considering.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new.
