I instructed a Clayton based solicitor for our conveyancing in Clayton recently. Reviewing the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint an on-line conveyancing brokerage offering no move no charge conveyancing in Clayton?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to offset the transactions that do not proceed. Please beware that such schemes tend not to protect you from expenditure for example Clayton conveyancing search expenses.
I am acquiring a house mortgage free in Clayton. I have lived for the last Seventeen years in Clayton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the Clayton conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. Sometimes premises with no practical issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Clayton should be able to give you some helpful guidance here.
Will conveyancers ask for an advanced payment for conveyancing in Clayton?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Clayton your solicitor will ask you put them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this should be asked for immediately in advance of contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

We are 17 days into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the local agent to carry out the conveyancing in Clayton. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the level of service. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
A conveyancer would have to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you need to inform them of the new contact details and get the loan are re-sent. The conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental costs and delays. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

Me and my partner are buying a 2 bedroom first floor flatin Clayton with a mortgage from a bank. We have a conveyancer in Clayton however our bank advise he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct one of the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Clayton conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent our lender. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Clayton : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
