I hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Hinton St George last week. Upon checking the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hinton St George?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover those transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these arrangements rarely cover expenditure for example Hinton St George conveyancing search costs.
This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Hinton St George. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Hinton St George?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Hinton St George. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home.

I am purchasing a property in Hinton St George. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Kent Reliance be concerned?
Given that your lender is Kent Reliance your lawyer must follow the formal instructions outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not satisfy these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Hinton St George.
I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Hinton St George. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society 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.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Hinton St George 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Hinton St George I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hinton St George in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
