I chose a West Ealing based firm for my conveyancing in West Ealing last week. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are responsible for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to choose an internet firm promoting no move no charge conveyancing in West Ealing?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to cover the cases that abort. Dont forget that these schemes rarely protect you from expenditure for example West Ealing conveyancing search expenses.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the HSBC Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in West Ealing?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
We are aiming to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in West Ealing. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the selling agent however this can only happen after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in West Ealing or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in West Ealing.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Skipton, do West Ealing property lawyers have to pay an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

I have instructed a West Ealing lawyer having checked that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own West Ealing surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Will my lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in West Ealing.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers conducting conveyancing in West Ealing. Plenty of people will purchase a property in West Ealing, completely aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in West Ealing. The standard information given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages resulting from an misleading answer. A buyer’s lawyers should also conduct an enviro search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be initiated.
