We chose a Datchet and Langley based firm for our conveyancing in Datchet and Langley recently. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or select an on-line conveyancing company offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Datchet and Langley?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract those cases that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these deals tend not to cover expenses for instance Datchet and Langley conveyancing search charges.

My fiance and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom flat in Datchet and Langley with a homeloan from The Royal Bank of Scotland.We like our Datchet and Langley conveyancing solicitor but The Royal Bank of Scotland informed us he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a The Royal Bank of Scotland panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that The Royal Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the The Royal Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland

As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but live in Datchet and Langley.

What makes a Datchet and Langley lease problematic?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Datchet and Langley. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the building

You may have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Leeds Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
