In the event thatI were to buy a simple residential homein Greenfield mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Greenfield?
The sole saving you would achieve is the Greenfield conveyancing searches.

As someone with no idea as to the Greenfield conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the home moving process in Greenfield
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Greenfield and elsewhere in Flintshire is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, property agent and even potentially the lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Greenfield is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
is it true that all Greenfield solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Greenfield. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the solicitor contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Bank of Ireland are being problematic. The Greenfield solicitor who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Bank of Ireland are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Bank of Ireland have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Bank of Ireland have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Bank of Ireland may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
