We decided to go with a Carterton based solicitor for our conveyancing in Carterton last week. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I noteI am on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Carterton?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to offset the cases that do not proceed. Also remember that such schemes tend not to protect you from outlay for instance Carterton conveyancing search expenses.

It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Carterton. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find my title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Carterton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Carterton for our home move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Lenders normally restrict either the category or the amount of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have reduced the number of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. You should note that Bank of Scotland have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Bank of Scotland Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains differing views regarding the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Carterton only carry out very few conveyances per annum.
I am purchasing a new build house in Carterton benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it could jeopardize my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
