We selected a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Burghfield Common recently. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an internet lawyer who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Burghfield Common?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise those cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such schemes tend not to protect you from expenditure such your Burghfield Common conveyancing search charges.
Some advice if I may. My Burghfield Common lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toapply for Burghfield Common conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westsolicitor panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Burghfield Common conveyancing searches.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers based in Burghfield Common on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Clydesdale but by your Burghfield Common solicitor. Numerous firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Burghfield Common off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Principality. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel.
About to purchase apartment in Burghfield Common. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage".

I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Burghfield Common property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Burghfield Common concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
