I went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Elland yesterday. Reviewing the fine print it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or choose a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Elland?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to offset the cases that do not go ahead. Please beware that such offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements by way of example Elland conveyancing search charges.

My fiancee and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Elland and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Aldermore.
It would be prudent to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Aldermore, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Elland bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Elland conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
