The conveyancer who dealt with my previous purchase has sent a quote for just over a thousand pound for freehold conveyancing in Bulwell. I’m hoping to downsize from a Edwardian property for £275,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Bulwell?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. Where you are prepared to spend time scrutinising prices you might trim some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you couldcome to rue choosing an an untested conveyancer. Remember to check the solicitor can represent your mortgage company.

If you had a top tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Bulwell what would it be?
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Bulwell conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Bulwell. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bulwell lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
We are intent on selling our home in Bulwell and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bulwell. We have lived in Bulwell for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Bulwell. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Bulwell and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Bulwell ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a loan on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Bulwell.
