We selected a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Carlton last week. Looking through the terms of engagement I seeI am liable for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or select an internet conveyancing company who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Carlton?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract the cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that such schemes generally do not cover expenses for instance Carlton conveyancing search charges.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Carlton for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Aldermore won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies ordinarily imposes restrictions either the category or the number of conveyancing firms on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have reduced the number of solicitor practices they use to act for them. You should note that Aldermore have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Aldermore Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains differing opinions regarding the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Carlton only conduct a couple conveyances a year.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Carlton in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on such a premises.

The benefit of a high street Carlton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which 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 instructed your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unknown Carlton conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
What can I do to determine who owns a house in Carlton?
As long as the premises is recorded at HMLR, and you have enough specifics of the location of the premises, you should be able to obtain results from the HMLR of the recorded owner for a fee.
