I went with a Park Royal based solicitor for my conveyancing in Park Royal recently. Going through the fine print I seeI am liable for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and select a web based conveyancing company promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Park Royal?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover the transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such offerings generally do not cover outlay e.g. Park Royal conveyancing search costs.
Do the conveyancing solicitors that you recommend conduct conveyancing in Park Royal by way of an attended exchange?

We previously appointed solicitors locally in Park Royal on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for dealing with the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Clydesdale?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by Clydesdale but by your Park Royal property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Nationwide as we intend to carry out improvements to our home in Park Royal. Are we obliged to choose a local Park Royal solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Nationwide do not ordinarily instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
Intending to buy a flat in Park Royal. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Park Royal solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when buying a house in Park Royal? or I am told that there is an ancient law that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Park Royal?
Unless a prior purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Park Royal to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
The deeds to our property can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Park Royal 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you can buy or sell your house without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the premises.
