Hello all.
I have seen this on quite a few solicitors advertisements. Can any one give me any advice on how true this statement is. Are there hidden charges or up front fees for searches etc
thanks

I think it means that if there is no sale then the solicitor does not charge a fee.

Any work the solicitor does for you where they have to pay upfront to get the required information you would have to pay for even if the sale then falls through.0
