I selected a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Willenhall recently. Reviewing the terms of engagement I notewe are responsible for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or appoint an internet lawyer advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Willenhall?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover the cases that abort. Do bear in mind that such arrangements tend not to protect you from expenditure for instance Willenhall conveyancing search fees.
Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Willenhall conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel?
Willenhall conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.
What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the Clydesdale Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Willenhall?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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.
My wife and I are buying a property in Willenhall. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we have to deposit our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

I have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Willenhall. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Coventry BS?
Your original mortgage agreement with Coventry BS will provide that you need their approval in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Coventry BS will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I purchased my home on 5 June and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Willenhall advises it would be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Willenhall particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Willenhall registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties.
