We selected a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Englefield Green today. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are on the hook for costs even if the movedoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and choose a web based conveyancing brokerage who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Englefield Green?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to cover the transactions that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such promotions tend not to protect you from outlay e.g. Englefield Green conveyancing search charges.

Me and my partner are about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Englefield Green but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Coventry BS are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

The solicitor that is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is required to advise Coventry BS of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Englefield Green.
