I instructed a Datchet and Langley based firm for our conveyancing in Datchet and Langley yesterday. Looking through the terms of engagement I seeI am on the hook for costs even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or select a web based solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Datchet and Langley?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover the conveyances that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such offerings generally do not cover expenditure for example Datchet and Langley conveyancing search fees.
In the event thatI was to buy a simple residential homein Datchet and Langley for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Datchet and Langley?
Any savings you would gain will be isolated to the Datchet and Langley conveyancing searches. Your solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors solicitor, SDLT return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it will not be meaningful.
I require quick conveyancing in Datchet and Langley as I have a deadline to exchange contracts within one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

With plenty of history conveyancing in Datchet and Langley the following are examples of issues that can crop up and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...
How does conveyancing in Datchet and Langley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Datchet and Langley approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Datchet and Langley typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Datchet and Langley or who has acted in the same development.
Should I use a Datchet and Langley conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can perform the legal formalities however her office is 300miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Datchet and Langley conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were happy that should surpass using an unknown Datchet and Langley conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
I am an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a property in Datchet and Langley which will be marketed. The house has never been registered at HMLR and I'm advised that some estate agents will insist that it is done before they'll move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
