We went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Dulverton recently. Looking through the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Dulverton?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover those cases that abort. Also remember that such deals rarely protect you from expenses e.g. Dulverton conveyancing search fees.

We had chosen solicitors locally in Dulverton on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Dulverton solicitor. Numerous firms on the Aldermore panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Dulverton. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Leeds Building Society have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Leeds Building Society your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Leeds Building Society. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Leeds Building Society where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Dulverton.
