I opted for a Clevedon based solicitor for my conveyancing in Clevedon yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I notewe are on the hook for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and use an internet conveyancing company advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Clevedon?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those transactions that abort. You should be mindful that such promotions rarely cover outlay e.g. Clevedon conveyancing search fees.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Clevedon?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you want the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Clevedon.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Clevedon. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Clevedon

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Clevedon is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Clevedon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Clevedon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clevedon may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
My uncle has suggested that I instruct his conveyancers in Clevedon. Do I take his advice?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the conveyancer that you are considering.
I am in the process of buying my first house in Clevedon. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The mortgage adviser suggested that a survey is not necessary as the house is just fifteen years old.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and suggest further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems get a full Building Survey from the beginning.
