I selected a high street solicitor for my conveyancing in Helston last week. Looking through the small print it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for fees even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and select an internet solicitor practice advertising no move no charge conveyancing in Helston?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to offset those cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such arrangements rarely protect you from disbursements e.g. Helston conveyancing search fees.
We are purchasing our first home. Our conveyancing practitioner has contact usto enquire if we would like to order supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we in the dark as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Helston

The Helston conveyancing lawyers that just started acting on my purchase in Helston have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and my family Helston lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What do I do now?
If you have an estate agent involved then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.

I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Helston conveyancing practitioner on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
