We chose a Turnham Green based lawyer for my conveyancing in Turnham Green yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I seeI am responsible for charges even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Turnham Green?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover those conveyances that abort. Please beware that such promotions generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Turnham Green conveyancing search charges.

Having sold my house in Turnham Green last October but my buyer keeps texting daily to moan that his conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your sale your conveyancer is committed to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Turnham Green. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in July. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the lender as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Turnham Green bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Turnham Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Your conveyancer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Turnham Green on 1/7/2026, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

-
Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
