We instructed a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Studley last week. Upon checking the Terms I notewe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or choose a web based lawyer promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Studley?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract the cases that abort. Also remember that these schemes rarely protect you from disbursements by way of example Studley conveyancing search charges.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a garden flat in Studley. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Studley?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Studley. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Studley off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Coventry BS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Studley property lawyer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Studley surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I have recentlydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Studley for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Studley conveyancing specialists.
