We chose a Astley based firm for our conveyancing in Astley last week. Upon checking the terms of engagement I notewe are liable for fees even if the movedoes not happen. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Astley?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such promotions rarely protect you from expenses such your Astley conveyancing search expenses.
Are the Astley conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Aldermore?
Astley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Astley. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?
As your lender is HSBC your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Astley.
