We decided to go with a Wilberfoss based solicitor for our conveyancing in Wilberfoss last week. Going through the official terms of business I noteI am responsible for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or choose a web based solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Wilberfoss?

If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Wilberfoss what would it be?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Wilberfoss conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.
Can you help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Wilberfoss?

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Wilberfoss. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Virgin Money panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Wilberfoss I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wilberfoss suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
