Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Duxford who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Skipton Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the steep side. Where you are happy to invest time contrasting prices you may be able to reduce the fees marginally by say £100 plus VAT.

If is important to check that the firm can represent Skipton Building Society.

I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Duxford. The vast majority the appartments have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Duxford?
If you are purchasing a property with the assistance of a loan, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Duxford conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Duxford.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian property in Duxford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess 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 Duxford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
