We decided to go with a local firm for my conveyancing in Brandon yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I noteI am responsible for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or use a web based solicitor practice offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Brandon?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract the conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these arrangements generally do not cover outlay for example Brandon conveyancing search charges.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Brandon 10 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

You no longer need to hold title official documentation to prove you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

To what extent are Brandon conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to issue transparent conveyancing costs?

Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are prescriptive rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Brandon or further afield.
