We chose a high street firm for our conveyancing in Egremont recently. Upon checking the terms of engagement I noteI am on the hook for costs even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to use an on-line firm who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Egremont?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that such deals rarely cover expenses for instance Egremont conveyancing search charges.

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Egremont. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
