We instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in East Finchley yesterday. Going through the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or appoint an internet solicitor practice offering no move no charge conveyancing in East Finchley?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to offset those transactions that do not proceed.

Please help. My East Finchley lawyer is assuring me that he has toapply for East Finchley conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a mortgage company your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out East Finchley conveyancing searches.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
