We chose a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Coleford today. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and use an internet conveyancing company advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Coleford?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover those cases that fail to complete. Also remember that these deals generally do not protect you from outlay e.g. Coleford conveyancing search fees.
Me and my partner are purchasing a flat in Coleford. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?

Some major banks and building societies now use CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Co-operative as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Coleford. Do we need to select a high street Coleford solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Co-operative do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative list.

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Coleford concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 asset 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.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Coleford
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
Why can't I complete our conveyancing in Coleford on May bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the funds needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's solicitor and currently this can only take place on a working day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
