I opted for a Formby based lawyer for my conveyancing in Formby last week. Going through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or use a web based solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Formby?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that these promotions tend not to protect you from disbursements by way of example Formby conveyancing search fees.

I am helping my niece sell her flat in Formby. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an energy performance certificate or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments became a mandatory component of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Formby conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established local providers
Can I be sure that the Formby conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Formby seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees.

My offer on a detached house in Formby has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Formby. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance started?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Formby conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Formby.
I'm buying my first flat in Formby benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

As with lots of professional services, often referrals from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all put forward solicitors to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some banks operate an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
