We decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Calne recently. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seeI am responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Calne?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise the transactions that abort. Dont forget that such arrangements generally do not cover expenditure such as Calne conveyancing search charges.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a week to get a mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Calne.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Calne is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Calne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Calne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Calne may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Why can't I complete my conveyancing in Calne on May bank holiday?
Because on completion the funds needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and seller's conveyancer and at present this can only occur on a working day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
