I instructed a local firm for our conveyancing in Wells recently. Looking through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or instruct a web based conveyancing company promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Wells?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract those transactions that do not go ahead. Also remember that these deals tend not to cover expenditure such as Wells conveyancing search charges.

I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Wells with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, but Kent Reliance would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
Me and my brother own a renovated Georgian house in Wells. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and HSBC Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wells and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Wells and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to business leaseholders, giving them the a statutory right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Wells. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Wells - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
