There is lots of here about conveyancing in St Giles but can you isolate your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in St Giles
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest St Giles conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We previously appointed conveyancers located in St Giles on the RBS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by RBS but by your St Giles conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the RBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I am expecting a DIP from Nationwide this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any St Giles solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint St Giles solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. St Giles is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in St Giles are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside St Giles you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Giles 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 residence.
