I went with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Lydney recently. After carefully reading the fine print I noteI am liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or use a web based solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Lydney?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to neutralise the transactions that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such offerings rarely protect you from disbursements for instance Lydney conveyancing search charges.
My solicitor has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Lydney. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Co-operative, do Lydney conveyancers face an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Lydney conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Coventry BS to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS completed the valuation? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
What will a local search inform me concerning the house we're purchasing in Lydney?

How does conveyancing in Lydney differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Lydney approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Lydney tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lydney or who has acted in the same development.
