You warrant that:
If you provide information which is incomplete, inaccurate or out of date, you understand that:
You agree fully to indemnify, defend and hold us, and our officers, directors, employees, agents and suppliers, harmless immediately on demand, from and against all claims, liability, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of any breach of the Conditions by you or any other liabilities arising out of your use of this Website.
Where the Client requests a Quote either via our Website, by phone, by post, by fax or by any other medium, Capital Conveyancing will use reasonable endeavours to identify one or more Service Providers who have confirmed to Capital Conveyancing hat they are able and willing to provide the Services required by the Client, based on the information provided by the Client.
Quotes are valid for 7 calendar days from the date the quote was obtained.
Quotes are only valid for properties in England and Wales.
The conveyancers providing the service to the client through Capital Conveyancing comply with, and are subject to, the Council of Licensed Conveyancers. Quotes are based on the information you supply, so if information is incorrect or changes you should let us know immediately. Capital Conveyancing will require a non-refundable deposit in order for the licensed conveyancers to begin work on your file. The Service Provider’s 'No Move No Fee' guarantee means that if the Clients property transaction does not complete, the Client will only pay the Service Provider for disbursement costs incurred on the Clients behalf. The Clients deposit will not be refunded, however the deposit can be used on any future Service or Product with the same Service Provider.
Wherever possible all Services and Products made available through our Website are quoted with a Fixed Fee Guarantee in respect of the Service or Product offered.
Capital Conveyancing have entered into partnership agreements with one conveyancing firm, who will carry out the conveyancing work for Capital Conveyancing clients. A strict condition of this partnership agreement is that all Services and Products are supplied at a fixed cost as per the Quote supplied by Capital Conveyancing. In the unlikely event that the fixed fee guarantee is not adhered to by the conveyancer then you should contact Capital Conveyancing immediately in order that we may resolve the situation.
On rare occasions we will not be able to supply a fixed fee Quote. An example might be to facilitate the representation of a client at a Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. In the event that we cannot supply a fixed fee Quote this will be explicitly stated.
Conveyancing Quotes supplied by Capital Conveyancing to Clients who are purchasing a property include SPP.
SPP applies when the Client's initial property purchase falls through or does not complete and Searches have been ordered in respect of that initial property purchase and paid for by the Client. When the Client instructs the Service Provider to act on the purchase of a second property under the No Move, No Fee guarantee SPP entitles the Client to free Searches on the second property purchase equivalent to those ordered on the first property.
Eligibility for SPP is subject to the following conditions:
In the event that the Client’s second purchase does not proceed and the Client proceeds to buy a third property then SPP does not apply and payment for the third set of searches must be made by the Client. The Client would in turn qualify for a fourth free set of searches on a fourth property under SPP, and so on in perpetuity subject to meeting all other applicable conditions.
The Client acknowledges and agrees that:
Capital Conveyancing shall in no circumstances be responsible for the performance of, failure to perform, or the quality of any Services or Products performed by a Service Provider.
Capital Conveyancing provides Clients with quotes free of charge, however it reserves the right to charge additional sums as notified to the Client in advance from time to time.
Capital Conveyancing will take a payment from a Client up-front on behalf of the Service Provider to allow a Service Provider to start to provide Services or Products immediately. Where a Quote requires an up-front payment the Client accepts that the work covered by it will start as soon as possible after payment. Any deposit paid at the start of the conveyancing process will be deducted from the fixed fee total in the final statement.
All fees and the terms of payment for the performance of Services or Products shall be governed by the relevant Service Provider terms.
Although Capital Conveyancing uses reasonable endeavours to ensure all Quotes are accurate, Quotes should be regarded as indicative only, in particular in relation to any fees referred to in them. All information in Quotes and on which Capital Conveyancing bases Quotes is provided to Capital Conveyancing by the Client and/or relevant Service Providers and Capital Conveyancing cannot and do not undertake to verify the information before producing the Quote.
Clients will have the right to cancel a conveyancing or legal Service or Product Instruction within 14 (fourteen) calendar days from the date of Instruction and receive a refund of their deposit if the Service Provider has not commenced the legal work and the Client accepts that this "cooling-off period" ends once the Client waives their right to any remainder of the “cooling-off period”.
Following the Client’s consent to waive the “cooling-off period” the Service or Product may be cancelled but the Client’s deposit will not be refunded. However the deposit can be transferred to any future conveyancing Service or Product with the same Service Provider.
If you wish to cancel a conveyancing or legal Service or Product please contact [email protected]or call 0207 406 5880 between 9am-8pm Mon-Thur, 9am-6pm Fri, 10am-4pm Sat/Sun. Please be ready to quote your reference number and order date.
