I opted for a Stone Cross based solicitor for my conveyancing in Stone Cross yesterday. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I seeI am liable for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based lawyer promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Stone Cross?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to cover those transactions that abort. You should be mindful that these arrangements tend not to cover expenditure such as Stone Cross conveyancing search fees.
Our nephew is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Stone Cross with a mortgage from Clydesdale. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Clydesdale conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Stone Cross is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Stone Cross are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stone Cross you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stone Cross may decide 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.
