We hired a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Parsons Green today. Upon checking the fine print I seeI am responsible for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based solicitor practice advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Parsons Green?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover those transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that these arrangements rarely cover outlay such as Parsons Green conveyancing search fees.

My wife and I purchasing a terrace house in Parsons Green. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property include enquiries to see if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Parsons Green can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain alterations or require the consent of another owner. Some extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
We expect to receive a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Parsons Green solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Parsons Green solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.

Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian house in Parsons Green. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Parsons Green and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Parsons Green with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
