I hired a Martock based solicitor for my conveyancing in Martock recently. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I notewe are responsible for costs even if the movedoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line solicitor practice who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Martock?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset the transactions that fail to complete.

After researching online forums for a recommended lawyer in Martock, many say that I should instruct a CQS kitemarked lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in the legal transfer of properties, trusted by some of the UK's leading banks. In 2011-12 the Conveyancing Quality Scheme was officially recognised by the Building Societies Association (BSA). CQS is not a scheme offered by the Council of Licensed Conveyancing. Martock is one of the numerous areas of the UK where there are Accredited solicitors.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Martock. My mortgage broker suggested a solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £175. A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance 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 am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, TSB are being a right pain. The Martock solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Your estate agent will need to be advised as to your solicitor's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Nottingham or your broker and complete any appropriate documentation.

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Martock.
