We decided to go with a high street firm for our conveyancing in Sunbury yesterday. Reviewing the Terms I noteI am liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or appoint a web based solicitor practice who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Sunbury?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these arrangements rarely cover expenditure for example Sunbury conveyancing search fees.
Our lawyer has identified a a problem with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Sunbury. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

I am considering applying for a Nottingham mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Sunbury with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nottingham will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
My wife and I are buying a apartment in Sunbury. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to send funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am helping my mother sell her flat in Sunbury. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s was retained a mandatory element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are using a Sunbury conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Sunbury assessors
I happen to be the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Sunbury. The Sunbury property was put into my name in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.
Me and my wife have recently had an offer accepted on our 1st home in Sunbury, and are now looking to get solicitors instructed. I have made use of the various rating tools and the results are from all across the country. Is it advisable to have a Sunbury conveyancer local to our prospective house? We are happy to do all the communicating electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to physically go into the property lawyer's office to sign papers?
The conveyancer does not need to be in Sunbury, but opting for local means that you can visit their offices if you need to, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. Furthermore, a Sunbury solicitor is likely to be familiar with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local conveyancer) with them, which will help smooth the process.
