We hired a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Corston last week. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to select a web based firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Corston?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover the transactions that abort. Dont forget that such offerings rarely cover disbursements such as Corston conveyancing search fees.

I am purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Corston. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to see if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Corston will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Many extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Aldermore, do Corston property lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Corston. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. 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 Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Corston concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
