We decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in New Southgate today. After carefully reading the small print I noteI am liable for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or use an on-line lawyer advertising no move no charge conveyancing in New Southgate?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that such schemes generally do not cover expenses for example New Southgate conveyancing search fees.
We note that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in New Southgate?

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a New Southgate based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers where you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company to check if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near New Southgate.
My wife and I are buying a apartment in New Southgate. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to send money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

I am buying a property in New Southgate. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nationwide 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 your lender is Nationwide your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nationwide. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Nationwide where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to New Southgate.
