We went with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Tarporley recently. Reviewing the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if the movedoes not happen. Would I be best advised to appoint an internet solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Tarporley?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover those transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that such promotions tend not to protect you from expenditure e.g. Tarporley conveyancing search charges.

I am buying a property mortgage free in Tarporley. I have resided for the last 20 years in Tarporley. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Tarporley conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where houses with functional issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Tarporley will provide you some sensible advice in this regard.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Tarporley completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Tarporley and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives a safeguard to business leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex.
