We chose a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Kingswinford today. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I seewe are responsible for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use an internet conveyancing brokerage promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Kingswinford?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover the transactions that fail to complete. Also remember that these schemes generally do not cover disbursements such your Kingswinford conveyancing search charges.
My Kingswinford conveyancer has discovered a difference between the information in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action right?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Kingswinford. The Kingswinford property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Kingswinford. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Barclays be concerned?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Barclays your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not meet these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Kingswinford.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Kingswinford. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an on account payment of £225. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

They would need to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has your loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you will need to inform them of the new contact details and get the offer are re-issued.
