I instructed a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in St Columb today. Reviewing the small print it is apparent thatwe are liable for charges even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and choose an on-line conveyancing brokerage offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in St Columb?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract the transactions that do not proceed. You should be mindful that these arrangements generally do not cover expenditure for instance St Columb conveyancing search charges.
Our solicitor has discovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are buying in St Columb. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their provisions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender requirements must be adhered to.

Is it the case that all St Columb CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved firms?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being pedantic. The St Columb solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
