I selected a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Totterdown today. Reviewing the small print I notewe are responsible for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Totterdown?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to counteract the transactions that abort. Do bear in mind that these deals rarely cover outlay such your Totterdown conveyancing search costs.
We are buying a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Totterdown who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

We are selling our home in Totterdown. Will my conveyancer need to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
A friend recommended that if I am buying in Totterdown I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Totterdown 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or sell your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your solicitor may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Totterdown I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Totterdown suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
