We selected a Droitwich Spa based solicitor for our conveyancing in Droitwich Spa last week. Upon checking the fine print I noteI am liable for fees even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and choose an internet lawyer who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Droitwich Spa?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise the transactions that do not proceed. Also remember that these schemes generally do not protect you from expenditure for example Droitwich Spa conveyancing search charges.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Droitwich Spa. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Droitwich Spa relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
We're in Droitwich Spa, First time buyers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Bank of Ireland , and our solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Droitwich Spa is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Droitwich Spa are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.
