We selected a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Shirebrook last week. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I noteI am liable for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based firm who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Shirebrook?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Shirebrook conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing where you reside.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, property lawyers are duty bound to investigate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will lead to your solicitor terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
About to place an offer on a leasehold flat in Shirebrook. The property agents tell me that it is usual for flats in Shirebrook to have less than 75 years unexpired on the lease. I am expecting a mortgage with Tesco Bank. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 70 years to go.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Shirebrook conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for HSBC to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC done the survey? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I'm in the process of looking at flats in Shirebrook and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with TSB.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP.

As you are seeking a mortgage with TSB, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Planning on purchasing a house in Shirebrook. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Shirebrook conveyancing practitioner is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
