I hired a Chirk based firm for my conveyancing in Chirk recently. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to choose a web based lawyer advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Chirk?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract the conveyances that do not go ahead. Also remember that such offerings generally do not protect you from expenditure such as Chirk conveyancing search expenses.

I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Chirk. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in September. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in September. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Chirk lawyers incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
About to purchase maisonette in Chirk. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Chirk solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
