I selected a Sidcup based lawyer for our conveyancing in Sidcup yesterday. Reviewing the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based lawyer advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Sidcup?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset those cases that abort. Dont forget that these promotions rarely protect you from disbursements for example Sidcup conveyancing search expenses.
Some advice if I may. My Sidcup solicitor is informing me me that she is duty bound toorder Sidcup conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Sidcup conveyancing searches.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Sidcup. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should call the conveyancer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you can get in touch with Godiva Mortgages Ltd who may be able to confirm.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
