Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Whimple who acted for me 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Nottingham Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or should I seek out a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you are content to invest time contrasting prices you could reduce the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm provided you mightcome to rue choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Remember to ensure that the firm can act for Nottingham Building Society.

My solicitor has informed me that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Whimple conveyancing?
The appropriate level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being a right pain. The Whimple solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Whimple has been accepted, now what?
The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Clydesdale or your broker and finish off any appropriate documentation. Clydesdale will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Whimple.
