We went with a local firm for my conveyancing in Burwell yesterday. Upon checking the Terms I seeI am liable for costs even if the sale aborts. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Burwell?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover those conveyances that abort. Dont forget that these schemes tend not to protect you from expenses for example Burwell conveyancing search costs.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Burwell. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Burwell?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Burwell. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Burwell building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Burwell conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook conditions 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.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Burwell 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
