We opted for a Turnpike Lane based firm for my conveyancing in Turnpike Lane yesterday. Upon checking the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am liable for costs even if the movedoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line lawyer promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Turnpike Lane?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to offset those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements such your Turnpike Lane conveyancing search charges.
My husband and I are nearing an exchange on a flat in Turnpike Lane and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my lawyer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?
The lawyer is legally required to check with lender to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We are looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Turnpike Lane who is on the HSBC approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

We're in Turnpike Lane, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Clydesdale , and our solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I have recentlybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Turnpike Lane for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Turnpike Lane conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Turnpike Lane I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Turnpike Lane in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
