I chose a local firm for our conveyancing in Hull recently. Looking through the Terms and Conditions I noteI am liable for costs even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in Hull?

Dont forget that such offerings rarely protect you from outlay e.g. Hull conveyancing search charges.

Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Hull. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Hull - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
