I opted for a local firm for our conveyancing in Poringland yesterday. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing company who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Poringland?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to offset the transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these arrangements rarely protect you from expenses for instance Poringland conveyancing search expenses.
When reviewing consumer advice sites for a recommended solicitor in Poringland, most post that I should use a CQS assured solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?

My friend suggested that if I am buying in Poringland I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Poringland completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Poringland I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Poringland suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Leeds Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity towards a second property. The location we are talking about is Poringland. Will your conveyancers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the two deals?
Do use our search tool on this page to check that the solicitors are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are your solicitor should be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you conveyancer and make clear your expectations and requirements.
