We instructed a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Bucklesham today. Reviewing the fine print I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the movedoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line firm offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Bucklesham?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to cover those conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these arrangements tend not to protect you from expenditure such as Bucklesham conveyancing search fees.

We previously instructed solicitors based in Bucklesham on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for the legal aspects of the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Virgin Money but by your Bucklesham lawyer. Numerous firms on the Virgin Money panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
My fiancee and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Bucklesham and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it best to have a conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I am planning to take a mortgage with Barclays.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Barclays, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being problematic. The Bucklesham solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Do I require this when buying a property in Bucklesham? or I am told that there is historic law that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Bucklesham?
Unless a prior purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may assume that solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Bucklesham to continue to advocate a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

I dont have enough spare cash to pay a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Bucklesham , but I am anxious proceed. What can I do?
One option is to try and agree a lesser deposit. Many property owners will accept a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
