I hired a local lawyer for our conveyancing in White City recently. Going through the Terms it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage offering no move no charge conveyancing in White City?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to cover the conveyances that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these offerings rarely cover expenses by way of example White City conveyancing search costs.

I can see plenty of information on this site about conveyancing in White City but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in White City
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest White City conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments remained a required component of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand in advance of the property being advertised.

Where you are instructing a White City conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with reputable local providers
My wife and I are in the throws of viewing houses in White City and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Santander.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are seeking a mortgage with Santander, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in White City. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in White City and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am purchasing my first flat in White City with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
