I decided to go with a Great Coates based solicitor for our conveyancing in Great Coates yesterday. Going through the Terms it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and select a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Great Coates?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover the conveyances that abort. Dont forget that these arrangements tend not to cover outlay by way of example Great Coates conveyancing search charges.

I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Great Coates. Will the solicitor commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was left as a required part of selling a property. An energy assessment should be commissioned in advance of the property being placed on the market. It is not a task that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are using a Great Coates conveyancing practitioner they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local assessors

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Great Coates. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
My wife and I have a terraced Edwardian property in Great Coates. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Great Coates and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Great Coates. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Great Coates - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
