We instructed a local firm for my conveyancing in Wealdstone today. Upon checking the Ts and Cs I seeI am liable for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or use a web based solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Wealdstone?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to counteract those transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that such promotions tend not to cover outlay such as Wealdstone conveyancing search fees.
IfI was to acquire a freehold housein Wealdstone for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Wealdstone?
Any savings you would gain would be isolated to the Wealdstone conveyancing searches. The property lawyer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers lawyer, SDLT submission, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.

Will our conveyancer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Wealdstone.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Wealdstone. There are those who purchase a property in Wealdstone, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Wealdstone. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to determine whether the property has ever been flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect answer. The buyer’s lawyers will also order an enviro report. This should disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be conducted.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wealdstone is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Wealdstone are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wealdstone 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 Wealdstone 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 property.
