We instructed a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Frome yesterday. Going through the Terms and Conditions I notewe are responsible for costs even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or select an on-line firm promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Frome?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these schemes tend not to cover expenses for instance Frome conveyancing search fees.
We are purchasing a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Frome who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Frome
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Frome where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Frome conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

What restrictions exist in the Frome Lease? Where a Frome lease has fewer than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for a couple of years before you are entitled to extend the lease. Make sure you investigate if the the lease contains any unreasonable restrictions in the lease. For instance some leases prohibit pets being allowed in certain buildings in Frome. If you love the flatin Frome but your dog is not allowed to make the move with you then you will be faced hard determination.
