I hired a local firm for our conveyancing in Turnham Green yesterday. Looking through the Ts and Cs I seeI am liable for fees even if the movefalls through. Would I be best advised to appoint an on-line lawyer offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Turnham Green?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract the cases that do not proceed. Also remember that these schemes rarely cover expenses for example Turnham Green conveyancing search costs.

We note that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Turnham Green?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Turnham Green.

We are planning to move property in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Turnham Green. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your site.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent however this can only take place after the vendors lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Turnham Green or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Turnham Green.

I'm spending time viewing apartments in Turnham Green and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this stage? I will be getting a mortgage with Skipton.

You should start requesting conveyancing estimates 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 taking out a mortgage with Skipton, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Turnham Green bank branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Turnham Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the primary reason for hinderance in Turnham Green house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Turnham Green.
