I chose a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Nailsworth recently. Looking through the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are liable for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and select a web based firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Nailsworth?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to neutralise those cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that these promotions generally do not protect you from disbursements for instance Nailsworth conveyancing search charges.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Nailsworth?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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.
