We went with a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Sandhurst yesterday. Looking through the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use an on-line conveyancing company offering no move no charge conveyancing in Sandhurst?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset those cases that do not go ahead. Dont forget that these promotions tend not to protect you from disbursements for instance Sandhurst conveyancing search fees.
My Conveyancer in Sandhurst has never been on on the Yorkshire Building Society Solicitor Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Yorkshire Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Sandhurst lawyers but Yorkshire Building Society will need to use a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal charges and cause delays.
- Choose an alternative practitioner to to deal with the conveyancing, remembering to check they are on the Yorkshire Building Society panel
My colleague advised me that where I am purchasing in Sandhurst I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Sandhurst is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Sandhurst are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sandhurst you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sandhurst 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 property.
