I instructed a Wickersley based lawyer for my conveyancing in Wickersley yesterday. Looking through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and select an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Wickersley?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover those conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these deals tend not to protect you from expenditure such your Wickersley conveyancing search costs.

This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. If any down payment is payable against the sale price then this will be required immediately ahead of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer a couple of days prior to the day of completion.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Wickersley. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
