We selected a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Broxbourne recently. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I noteI am liable for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or instruct an on-line solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Broxbourne?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such arrangements generally do not protect you from expenses such your Broxbourne conveyancing search charges.

We are buying a four bedroom housein Broxbourne with a residential mortgage from a lender. We like our lawyer in Broxbourne however our lender inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel firms or keep our Broxbourne conveyancer and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Broxbourne lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Broxbourne : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
