We went with a Westbury On Trym based solicitor for our conveyancing in Westbury On Trym recently. Reviewing the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Westbury On Trym?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract the cases that abort. Do bear in mind that these promotions generally do not cover expenses for instance Westbury On Trym conveyancing search charges.
My husband and I are refinancing our flat in Westbury On Trym with TSB. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the TSB conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we bought 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of TSB had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply a car parking plan.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Westbury On Trym.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed but I have just had a quarterly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as normal given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
