What's the catch with no-move no-fee solicitors?

HarveyNichols99 · 2022-01-19 21:23:28

I went on ReallyMoving to get some quotes for a house purchase solicitor, and all are offering no-move no-fee basis. What're your experiences with this? Is it really as good as it seems on the tin, that if for any reason I or the vendor pulls out the solicitors won't demand a fee?

Years ago i used a local solicitor that told us he wouldnt charge any costs if the sales/purchase didnt go through.
When i asked how he can offer this he said that if this 'deal' didnt got through we would probably look for something else and if he acted fairly we would hopefully come back to his company
