We hired a Amble based solicitor for my conveyancing in Amble last week. Looking through the small print I noteI am liable for fees even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to select a web based lawyer who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Amble?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to neutralise the transactions that do not proceed. Also remember that such offerings generally do not cover disbursements such as Amble conveyancing search costs.
My god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Amble with a mortgage from Barclays. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Amble last October but my buyer keeps e-mailing me complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your sale your solicitor should forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities peculiar conveyancing in Amble.
