I hired a Dymock based solicitor for my conveyancing in Dymock yesterday. Reviewing the fine print I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the movefalls through. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no move no charge conveyancing in Dymock?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover those conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that such offerings generally do not cover outlay for instance Dymock conveyancing search expenses.

After reading online forums for a cheap lawyer in Dymock, most advise that I should instruct a CQS kitemarked solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?

I can see plenty of information on this site concerning conveyancing in Dymock but what is your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Dymock

It would be unwise to be swayed by the lowest Dymock conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Dymock. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

We were going to get a AIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Dymock solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Dymock solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
