I selected a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Rhiwderin today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I seewe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to select an internet firm who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Rhiwderin?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover those cases that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these promotions generally do not protect you from expenses for example Rhiwderin conveyancing search expenses.

I've read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Rhiwderin solicitor - who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Rhiwderin postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Rhiwderin.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Rhiwderin agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Rhiwderin. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then valuation, Rhiwderin conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Nationwide approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market some home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Rhiwderin.
