I opted for a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Catshill recently. Going through the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line firm offering no move no charge conveyancing in Catshill?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract those conveyances that do not go ahead. Please beware that these offerings rarely protect you from expenditure by way of example Catshill conveyancing search costs.

We are intent on selling our property in Catshill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Catshill. Having lived in Catshill for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Catshill for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Catshill conveyancing specialists.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Catshill. I have stumble across a site which looks to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all formalities done via web that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
