We went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Langley last week. Looking through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am on the hook for charges even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or use an on-line solicitor practice promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Langley?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover the conveyances that abort. Dont forget that such offerings generally do not cover expenses such your Langley conveyancing search charges.

I am helping my mother sell her property in Langley. Will the conveyancing solicitor order the energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was retained a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. If you are instructing a Langley conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Langley energy assessors
We had appointed conveyancers located in Langley on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional amount for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Lloyds but by your Langley conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Lloyds panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Langley for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Langley conveyancing specialists.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Langley. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Langley - 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.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Langley conveyancing firm to assist?
