I chose a Cholsey based solicitor for our conveyancing in Cholsey today. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seeI am responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint an on-line solicitor practice offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Cholsey?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset the transactions that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such arrangements rarely protect you from outlay for example Cholsey conveyancing search costs.
At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Cholsey and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Cholsey you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cholsey)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Cholsey on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Barclays but by your Cholsey property lawyer. Some firms on the Barclays panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Cholsey. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Cholsey.
I am buying a new build house in Cholsey with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
