We decided to go with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Wolvey recently. After carefully reading the official terms of business I seeI am liable for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based conveyancing company offering no move no charge conveyancing in Wolvey?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset those cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such promotions tend not to cover disbursements such your Wolvey conveyancing search charges.
I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my let out flat in Wolvey by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
It is unwise to give notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they cajole the other side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Nottingham Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Wolvey?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being difficult. The Wolvey solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.
