I instructed a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs last week. Going through the Terms I notewe are responsible for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based lawyer offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that such schemes tend not to cover outlay by way of example Wormwood Scrubs conveyancing search expenses.

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from HSBC as we intend to carry out improvements to our property in Wormwood Scrubs. Do we need to appoint a local Wormwood Scrubs solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
HSBC don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC list.
We expect to receive a OIP from Barclays this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Wormwood Scrubs solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Wormwood Scrubs solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
Me and my brother own a semi-detached Victorian house in Wormwood Scrubs. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wormwood Scrubs and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Wormwood Scrubs differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wormwood Scrubs approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Wormwood Scrubs usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Wormwood Scrubs or who has acted in the same development.
