I selected a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Dawlish today. Going through the small print it is apparent thatI am liable for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Dawlish?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to counteract those conveyances that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these arrangements tend not to cover outlay for instance Dawlish conveyancing search costs.

Are all Dawlish Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing list of approved solicitors?

It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Dawlish is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Dawlish are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dawlish you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dawlish may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I was advised by a number of selling agents in Dawlish to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
