We chose a high street firm for our conveyancing in Raunds yesterday. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I seeI am on the hook for fees even if the movefalls through. Should I go with them or select an internet solicitor practice offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Raunds?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset the transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these offerings rarely cover disbursements such as Raunds conveyancing search fees.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Raunds what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Raunds
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Raunds or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially your lender.

My aunt passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Raunds. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Principality, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
If you plan to re-mortgage then Principality will require that you use a conveyancer on the Principality conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Principality conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Principality mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Raunds. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Raunds - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
