Frequently Asked Questions
"Does the No Sale No Fee cover 3rd party costs?"
No. It only covers the solicitor's legal fees. If you incur the liability of property searches, mortgage valuations, building surveys or any other costs/disbursements, then you are still liable to pay for these as per the agreed terms of contract with the supplier.
"Are all No Sale No Fee Promises the same?"
No. Different solicitors may include/exclude certain parts of their policy to allow for certain reasons for you to pull out. You should read the terms of your chosen solicitor to understand their individual No Sale No Fee Promise.
Be careful when doing this as some solicitors do not cover all of their legal fees and some won't allow you to pull out for any reason; if you choose to pull out then you may be liable to pay your solicitor's legal fees. Under our No Sale No Fee Promise, you can pull out for any reason on your first transaction and not incur any of the solicitor's legal fees.
"Does the SAM Conveyancing No Sale No Fee Promise cover Gazumping?"
Yes it does. Under our No Sale No Fee Promise, you can pull out for any reason on your first transaction and not incur any of the solicitor's legal fees - whether it is:
- A buying chain breaks down.
- Gazumping - Seller accepts a higher offer from another buyer (read more about Gazumping)
- Gazundering - Buyer lowers their offer from agreed price pre-exchange.
- Property undervalued – Mortgage lender values the property less than the offer price (read more about What to do if your property is undervalued)
"How expensive can it be to not have No Sale No Fee protection?"
Solicitors normally work to an hourly rate when delivering legal services which is the reason why you should always look to get a Fixed Fee Quote for your conveyancing. If you don't have legal fee protection then you will be charged for the work completed by your solicitor at the pre-agreed hourly rate.
"Can you use the No Sale No Fee on two transactions at the same time?"
The No Sale No Fee Policy is offered to protect buyers and sellers from if their transaction falls through. If a buyer wants to run two files concurrently and doesn't close down their first purchase, then this is not covered under our No Sale No Fee Policy and an additional £160 deposit is required for the second purchase.
