We opted for a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Portslade recently. Reviewing the official terms of business I notewe are on the hook for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or appoint a web based lawyer who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Portslade?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those transactions that do not proceed. Please beware that such arrangements generally do not cover expenses for instance Portslade conveyancing search expenses.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Portslade is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Portslade are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Portslade you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Portslade may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
