I hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Haringey yesterday. Reviewing the Terms I notewe are on the hook for costs even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to select a web based solicitor practice who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Haringey?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Haringey you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Haringey.

The primary upside of using a high street Haringey conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Haringey know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Haringey conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Haringey based.
