I went with a high street firm for my conveyancing in Slade Green today. Going through the fine print I seewe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no move no charge conveyancing in Slade Green?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those cases that abort. Dont forget that such offerings tend not to protect you from expenses for instance Slade Green conveyancing search expenses.
Is it the case that all Slade Green CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Santander conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now utilise CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
My wife and I are in the throws of looking at apartments in Slade Green and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with Virgin Money.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I have instructed a Slade Green conveyancer having checked that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Slade Green surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Slade Green is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Slade Green are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Slade Green you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Slade Green may decide 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 residence.
