I selected a local firm for our conveyancing in Yarm last week. Looking through the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing company who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Yarm?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to offset those cases that do not proceed. Also remember that these promotions rarely protect you from expenses e.g. Yarm conveyancing search fees.
I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a Yarm based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the mortgage company to determine if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Yarm.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Yarm I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Yarm suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
