We hired a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Newall Green recently. Going through the small print it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an on-line firm promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Newall Green?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover those cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that these promotions tend not to protect you from expenditure e.g. Newall Green conveyancing search charges.
