I hired a local firm for our conveyancing in Caernarfon last week. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line solicitor practice promising no move no charge conveyancing in Caernarfon?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise those transactions that abort. Dont forget that these schemes generally do not protect you from outlay by way of example Caernarfon conveyancing search expenses.
My fiancee and I are acquiring our first home. Our lawyer has texted usto enquire if we would like to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Caernarfon

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Caernarfon conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel?
Caernarfon conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Coventry BS directly.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Caernarfon with a homeloan from Aldermore.We have a Caernarfon conveyancing solicitor but Aldermore advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Aldermore panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a Aldermore panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Aldermore approved list. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower 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 Aldermore

My husband and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from RBS as we wish to carry out improvements to our property in Caernarfon. Do we need to choose a high street Caernarfon solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
RBS would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS panel.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Caernarfon. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
