How can we know in advance if a Godshill conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Godshill obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. 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. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Godshill. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Soon after, the property lawyer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nationwide 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 Nationwide 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.
About to purchase flat in Godshill. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Godshill conveyancing practitioner is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing a house and the lawyer has identified Chancel Repair to which the property could be obligated to pay because it falls into the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Godshill

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Godshill is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Godshill are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Godshill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Godshill may decide 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 property.
