We went with a local firm for my conveyancing in Heaton Moor recently. Looking through the Terms and Conditions I noteI am liable for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing company advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Heaton Moor?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset those cases that abort. Dont forget that these promotions rarely protect you from expenses e.g. Heaton Moor conveyancing search expenses.
Can you help - my lawyer advises that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Heaton Moor conveyancing?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Heaton Moor. I have a mortgage offer with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use 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 Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Heaton Moor has been accepted, now what?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Clydesdale or your broker and complete any outstanding forms. Clydesdale will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to schedule a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Heaton Moor.

I am buying my first flat in Heaton Moor with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Coventry Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Heaton Moor. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Heaton Moor - 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.
