I am in the market for a reasonably priced property lawyer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer or a high street Bingley conveyancing solicitor?

Me and my partner are buying a flat in Bingley. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to send money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

After that you will need to tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Bingley or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Bingley.
I am purchasing a property in Bingley. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?
Given that your lender is TSB your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to satisfy these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Bingley.

I own a leasehold house in Bingley. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Bingley who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
First contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Bingley conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

My wife and I have chosen a Bingley conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have noticed in the terms and conditions that they are not overseen by the FCA. Am I right to be worried or is that usually the case with conveyancing practitioner?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. They will be governed by the SRA, who have specific laws in relation to monies deposited in their bank.
