My previous conveyancer has quoted £1350 for leasehold conveyancing in Bilborough. I am looking to sell a Georgian detached home for £175,000. This sounds overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bilborough?
The charges are a little high. Where you are prepared to invest time comparing fee on a like for like basis you might shave off some of the cost by perhaps £125.

IfI was to buy a simple residential propertyin Bilborough for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Bilborough?
Any savings you would gain would be limited to the Bilborough conveyancing searches. The conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your vendors property lawyer, SDLT submission, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bilborough?
Do check but the chances are that give you one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the lender to explore if they make available a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Bilborough.
