We decided to go with a Cherry Willingham based lawyer for our conveyancing in Cherry Willingham recently. Looking through the official terms of business I noteI am responsible for costs even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or use a web based firm promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Cherry Willingham?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover those cases that abort. You should be mindful that these arrangements tend not to cover expenses such your Cherry Willingham conveyancing search fees.
I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Cherry Willingham but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Cherry Willingham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Cherry Willingham but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Cherry Willingham
There are two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Cherry Willingham namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

We were going to get a DIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Cherry Willingham solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Cherry Willingham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Cherry Willingham. My mortgage broker suggested a solicitor. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
How does conveyancing in Cherry Willingham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Cherry Willingham come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Cherry Willingham tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cherry Willingham or who has acted in the same development.
My partner has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Cherry Willingham. Should I use them?

I am buying a maisonette and cash is in place. I have provided solicitor with two separate evidence of photo identification, bank statement, endless utility bills. Now he needs a copy from a probate lawyer stating that the money is in place and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.
