We selected a local firm for my conveyancing in Kingsbridge today. Reviewing the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to select an on-line solicitor practice offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Kingsbridge?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to neutralise those cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that these promotions generally do not cover disbursements such your Kingsbridge conveyancing search costs.

Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Kingsbridge will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner.

Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am buying a property in Kingsbridge. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Kingsbridge.
We expect to receive a AIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Kingsbridge solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kingsbridge solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kingsbridge is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Kingsbridge are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kingsbridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingsbridge may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
