I went with a local firm for our conveyancing in Hollywood last week. Upon checking the fine print I seewe are on the hook for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based solicitor practice offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Hollywood?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to counteract the conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these schemes generally do not protect you from outlay by way of example Hollywood conveyancing search fees.

How can we tell if a Hollywood conveyancing solicitor on the TSB panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Hollywood seeking recommendations is a good 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 which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Hollywood. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £150. A few days later, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nottingham 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 Nottingham 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.
I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Hollywood solicitor - who is on the Santander conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Hollywood surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
