I went with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Bromham today. After carefully reading the small print I notewe are responsible for costs even if the movedoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to appoint an internet firm promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Bromham?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the conveyances that abort. Dont forget that such promotions tend not to cover disbursements such your Bromham conveyancing search charges.
The owners have rather brash sellers who has suggested a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of agreement is unusual in Bromham, conveyancers are often inclined to veer clients away from them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the owner has signed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be tempted to break the contract if they are offered a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that your vendor may gain by breaching the contract, however morally condemnable that may be.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Bromham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Aldermore to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bromham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Is it best to use a Bromham conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can conduct the conveyancing but her office is approximately 350kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Bromham conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, deliver your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Bromham know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and they were impressed that should outweigh using an unknown Bromham conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Bromham based.
