I decided to go with a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Brynford yesterday. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based lawyer promising no move no charge conveyancing in Brynford?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract those transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such schemes tend not to protect you from disbursements for example Brynford conveyancing search expenses.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Brynford for our home move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company Lloyds TSB Bank won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Mortgage Companies normally imposes restrictions either the category or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have reduced the number of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. Be aware that Lloyds TSB Bank have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Lloyds TSB Bank Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of solicitor panels since 2008 even though there are mixed opinions regarding the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Brynford only carry out one or two conveyances per annum.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Brynford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brynford. We have lived in Brynford for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Brynford ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Brynford. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Brynford to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
We have selected a Brynford conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have noticed in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Am I right to be worried or is that standard with conveyancing practitioner?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set specific conditions in place on monies sitting in their bank.
