I decided to go with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Shanklin recently. Upon checking the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing company promising no move no charge conveyancing in Shanklin?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract the transactions that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these arrangements tend not to cover expenditure e.g. Shanklin conveyancing search fees.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Shanklin?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I am due to move house in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Shanklin. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent however this can only take place when the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. After that you should tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Shanklin or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Shanklin.
Are all Shanklin Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel?
It is true that some lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Shanklin. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

My husband and I are selling a Shanklin flat left to us 5 years ago in 2010. I have over ten years conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, intend to undertake the conveyancing. The purchaser's solicitor has informed me that their bank will not allow you to do your own conveyancing mandating that the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
