We selected a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Spennymoor last week. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I seeI am responsible for charges even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or choose an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Spennymoor?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract those cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such offerings tend not to protect you from outlay e.g. Spennymoor conveyancing search charges.

Should our conveyancer be raising enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Spennymoor.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Spennymoor. There are those who purchase a house in Spennymoor, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that may be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Spennymoor. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s conveyancers may also order an enviro report. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be initiated.
How does conveyancing in Spennymoor differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Spennymoor come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Spennymoor tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Spennymoor or who has acted in the same development.
