I decided to go with a local firm for our conveyancing in Angel recently. Looking through the official terms of business I seewe are responsible for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use an internet conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Angel?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise the cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that such arrangements tend not to protect you from expenditure for example Angel conveyancing search expenses.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Angel? Is this really warranted?
Angel conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to verify the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to supply two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (typically a Bank Statement no more than three months).
Proof of the origin of funds is also necessary in compliance with the money laundering statutes as solicitors are required to ensure that the funds you are using to purchase a property (be it the exchange deposit or the full purchase price where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from legitimate source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the proceeds of illegitimate activity.
My fiance and I wish to acquire a 2 bedroom apartment in Angel with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.We have a Angel conveyancing practitioner but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society advised that he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Norwich and Peterborough Building Society
We are purchasing a apartment in Angel. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Angel. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Angel?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Angel has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will wish to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact RBS or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms. RBS will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to get a mortgage offer. RBS will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Angel.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Angel I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Angel for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
