It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these schemes generally do not cover expenditure for example Pantymwyn conveyancing search fees.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being problematic. The Pantymwyn solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but TSB are requiring 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.
