I was referred a lawyer who has sent a quote for £1400 for no completion no fee conveyancing in Biddenham. I am hoping to downsize from a Edwardian detached home for £225,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Biddenham?
The charges are a little high. If you shop around you might decrease the fees slightly by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you couldcome to rue choosing an an untested conveyancer.

My partner and I are selling our house in Biddenham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Biddenham. We have lived in Biddenham for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Biddenham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Biddenham come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Biddenham typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Biddenham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Biddenham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Biddenham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Biddenham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Biddenham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
