I decided to go with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Falconwood yesterday. Reviewing the terms of engagement I notewe are on the hook for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing company offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Falconwood?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to counteract those cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that these deals generally do not cover expenditure such as Falconwood conveyancing search costs.

I am buying a terraced house in Falconwood. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Falconwood you will have to appoint a solicitor on your bank's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

I am assisting my sister sell her flat in Falconwood. Will the conveyancer arrange an EPC or should I organise this?

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was kept a required element of moving house. An EPC should be to hand in advance of the property being placed on the market. It is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Falconwood conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Falconwood energy assessors

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Falconwood. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Falconwood?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers located in Falconwood on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Coventry BS but by your Falconwood conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Why do Falconwood conveyancing fees differ for leasehold and freehold properties?

There is always increased work required in leasehold conveyancing. Falconwood has many leasehold properties. There is more time involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
