I chose a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Hurst Green yesterday. Reviewing the Terms it is apparent thatI am liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and select a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Hurst Green?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise the transactions that do not proceed. Also remember that these offerings tend not to protect you from expenses for example Hurst Green conveyancing search charges.
My Hurst Green solicitor has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the information in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Hurst Green who is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Hurst Green. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Hurst Green?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Hurst Green. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We previously chose conveyancing lawyers located in Hurst Green on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate charge for handling the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Clydesdale but by your Hurst Green conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
My husband and I are in the throws of viewing houses in Hurst Green and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor in place at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
We are 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Hurst Green. I am not happy. Can you help me find new conveyancers?
A solicitor would have to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been generated? If so you must inform them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are issued to the new lawyers. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating fees and complications. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice.
