We chose a local firm for my conveyancing in Snaith last week. Reviewing the Terms I notewe are liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line firm promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Snaith?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that these arrangements generally do not cover expenses by way of example Snaith conveyancing search costs.
We are purchasing a end of terrace house in Snaith. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property involve investigations to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Snaith can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain changes or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Snaith. My mortgage broker suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £200. Not long after, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Clydesdale panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Snaith. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Snaith and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Snaith. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Snaith - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
