I opted for a Thirsk based lawyer for our conveyancing in Thirsk yesterday. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are responsible for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or select an on-line conveyancing brokerage advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Thirsk?

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Thirsk what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Thirsk conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Thirsk. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Thirsk?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Thirsk off the council. I have a mortgage offer with HSBC. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

My partner and I are buying a ground floor flat in Thirsk. At the time of instructing our conveyancer, they said that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our financial adviser emailed just now to advise that they don't seem to be on the Co-operative approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a new solicitor that is on their approved list or should we pay for separate representation, with Co-operative selecting their own preferred property lawyer.
Where you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is normal for the purchaser’s solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the lawyer has to meet. Some banks now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Co-operative to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Co-operative's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Thirsk lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancer into the mix.
