It has taken forever and a day but a mortgage agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom maisonette is expected any day now. Are you able to recommend a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Basinghall?

Avoid the trap of appointing brokers enticing you with £100 conveyancing in Basinghall. In your best case scenario, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up invoiced for additional fees and still not receive the service expected.
We are purchasing our first home. The solicitor has e-mailedto check if we wish to purchase additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Basinghall

I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Basinghall but what is your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Basinghall
Do not opt for the cheapest Basinghall conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. 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 go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Basinghall conveyancing practitioner on the Leeds Building Society panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, 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 Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Basinghall. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
My wife and I are planning on selling our house in Basinghall and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Basinghall conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Basinghall. We have lived in Basinghall for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Basinghall took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Basinghall I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Basinghall for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
