I went with a Splott based lawyer for my conveyancing in Splott yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business I noteI am on the hook for charges even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or use a web based lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Splott?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract those cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that such deals tend not to cover disbursements e.g. Splott conveyancing search fees.

The Financial Services Authority in 2010 completed a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies are increasingly seeing more data from law firms concerning their operations and their employees as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of conveyancing. Many Splott conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Splott is amongst the numerous locations where the solicitors showing on our search results are on the panel for Nottingham Building Society.

We expect to receive a DIP from Lloyds this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

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

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Splott is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Splott are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Splott you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Splott may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
