I chose a Kingsbridge based firm for my conveyancing in Kingsbridge today. Going through the small print I seeI am responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint an on-line conveyancing brokerage who offer no move no charge conveyancing in Kingsbridge?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover those cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that these arrangements tend not to cover disbursements such your Kingsbridge conveyancing search expenses.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Nationwide Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Kingsbridge?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

How does conveyancing in Kingsbridge differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kingsbridge come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Kingsbridge tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kingsbridge or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Kingsbridge before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks will not grant a loan on a flying freehold home.

I am looking for Kingsbridge online conveyancing estimates. Can I be assured that all the Kingsbridge practices that are listed on your directory are on the lender conveyancing panel?

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have advised us that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a lender or a member of the public that the data about a specific Kingsbridge conveyancing solicitor being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
