We selected a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Glossop today. Upon checking the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Glossop?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise the conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that such schemes generally do not cover expenses for example Glossop conveyancing search expenses.

Is it correct that all Glossop CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
A selection of banks and building societies now make use of the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander.

Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Glossop is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Glossop are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Glossop you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Glossop may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
