I decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Godmanchester today. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Godmanchester?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that such promotions generally do not protect you from expenditure e.g. Godmanchester conveyancing search charges.

is it true that all Godmanchester solicitor practices on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Yorkshire BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I are at the point of looking at houses in Godmanchester and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this point? I intend to finance via a home loan with Santander.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Santander, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Godmanchester. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Godmanchester solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Godmanchester completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Godmanchester is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Godmanchester are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Godmanchester you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Godmanchester 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 property.
