We selected a local firm for my conveyancing in Long Eaton recently. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I notewe are responsible for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line solicitor practice promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Long Eaton?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract the transactions that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such schemes generally do not protect you from expenditure for instance Long Eaton conveyancing search expenses.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Yorkshire BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Long Eaton?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I am expecting a AIP from UBS 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 UBS recommend any Long Eaton solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Long Eaton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Long Eaton. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Long Eaton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Long Eaton benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
