We decided to go with a Benton based solicitor for our conveyancing in Benton yesterday. Reviewing the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and select a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no move no charge conveyancing in Benton?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to cover the conveyances that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these schemes rarely protect you from expenses by way of example Benton conveyancing search fees.
Do the conveyancing solicitors listed on your site handle attended exchange conveyancing in Benton?

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Skipton Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Benton?
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 at a cost.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Benton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Benton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
