I selected a Barton Seagrave based lawyer for our conveyancing in Barton Seagrave yesterday. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing brokerage advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Barton Seagrave?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract the conveyances that do not proceed. Please beware that such offerings rarely cover expenses for instance Barton Seagrave conveyancing search fees.
We have very pushy vendors who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a down payment of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This type of contract isn't frequently used in Barton Seagrave, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has executed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be legally obliged to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the extra amount that your seller may gain by breaching the contract, however morally condemnable it undoubtedly is.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Barton Seagrave is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Barton Seagrave is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Barton Seagrave are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Barton Seagrave.Conveyancing has not commenced but I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as usual as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
