We decided to go with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Cricklade recently. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I seewe are liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct an internet conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Cricklade?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract the conveyances that do not proceed. Please beware that these offerings generally do not cover disbursements such as Cricklade conveyancing search fees.

Having to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you now have to retain a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the property.

You should give this to the conveyancer working for you ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Cricklade. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Cricklade?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Cricklade. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Cricklade. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Cricklade. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Cricklade - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
