We chose a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Rocester recently. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I seewe are responsible for fees even if the movedoes not happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based conveyancing company promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Rocester?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract those conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that such offerings generally do not protect you from expenses for example Rocester conveyancing search expenses.
My husband and I are acquiring a newly constructed duplex in Rocester and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the seller. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I don't want to delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Rocester property lawyer on the Clydesdale panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Rocester I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rocester suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
