We chose a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Harmondsworth recently. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are responsible for fees even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Should I ditch them and select a web based solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Harmondsworth?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to neutralise those conveyances that abort. You should be mindful that these promotions tend not to protect you from disbursements e.g. Harmondsworth conveyancing search costs.

is it true that all Harmondsworth solicitor firms on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be governed by the CLC.

Can I be sure that the Harmondsworth conveyancing solicitor on the Santander panel is any good?

Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Harmondsworth has been agreed to, what are the next steps?

Your property agent will want to be advised as to your solicitor's details (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Aldermore or the financial adviser and complete any relevant documentation.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Harmondsworth is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Harmondsworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Harmondsworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harmondsworth may decide 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.

My offer on property in Harmondsworth has been accepted, but there is a chain. The current proprietors have offered on a flat, although it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Harmondsworth. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?

It is standard to have concerns where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Harmondsworth conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Virgin Money approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
