Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Boldon Colliery who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are prepared to spend time contrasting charges you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm provided you couldlive to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer.

We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Virgin Money are being difficult. The Boldon Colliery solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money 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.
Having digested plenty of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Boldon Colliery solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Boldon Colliery postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Boldon Colliery.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Boldon Colliery and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides protection to business tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
