We went with a local firm for our conveyancing in Pangbourne last week. Looking through the Ts and Cs I seeI am responsible for costs even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Pangbourne?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover those conveyances that abort. You should be mindful that these schemes tend not to cover disbursements such your Pangbourne conveyancing search charges.
Me and my wife are acquiring our first house. Our lawyer has contact usto enquire if we wish to purchase extra conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Pangbourne
The type of Pangbourne conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall appetite to risk.

If uncertain, ask your conveyancer to explain.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Pangbourne? What am I being asked for?
Pangbourne conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners accross the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to disclose two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (typically a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Utility Bill no older than three months).
Confirmation of source of monies is also necessary under the money laundering statutes as lawyers are required to investigate that the funds you are utilising to purchase a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies where you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from a reputable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the product of criminal behaviour.

Is it the case that all Pangbourne CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
I am expecting a DIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Pangbourne solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Pangbourne solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Pangbourne agreed to, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Pangbourne. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Principality going?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Pangbourne conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Principality and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Pangbourne.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
