I went with a high street firm for our conveyancing in The Hale today. Reviewing the terms of engagement I noteI am on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage offering no move no charge conveyancing in The Hale?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise the transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that such offerings tend not to protect you from expenses for instance The Hale conveyancing search fees.
I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in The Hale. 95% of the flats have already been sold. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in The Hale?

As someone with no idea as to the The Hale conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the house moving process in The Hale
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in The Hale and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion a bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in The Hale should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary will try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do take action that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in The Hale?

I have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in The Hale. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Co-operative?
You must advise Co-operative before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel lawyer.
I had an offer accepted on a property in The Hale on 14/11/2025, valuation was booked 4 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to UBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel. Are UBS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
