I chose a Elm Park based solicitor for our conveyancing in Elm Park today. Reviewing the Terms I seewe are on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to select an internet firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Elm Park?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset those cases that fail to complete. Also remember that these arrangements rarely cover disbursements such as Elm Park conveyancing search fees.
The Elm Park conveyancing firm handling our Elm Park conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was left as a required component of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Elm Park conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable Elm Park assessors
We expect to receive a DIP from Barclays this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Elm Park solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Elm Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
My sealed bid on a semi in Elm Park has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Elm Park. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Elm Park conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Elm Park.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Elm Park is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Elm Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Elm Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Elm Park may decide 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 property.
I am considering appointing a web based conveyancing practitioner rather than a Elm Park conveyancing firm. Should I ‘stay local’?
