Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Bordon who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from National Westminster Bank. I am now being charged twice the amount. Should I hunt for a cheaper online property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you you were to look around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm provided you maylive to regret choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to check the solicitor can also act for National Westminster Bank.

My partner and I are acquiring our first home. Our lawyer has e-mailedto check if we wish to order additional conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we are clueless as to what's recommended for conveyancing in Bordon
The extent of Bordon conveyancing searches depends entirely on the property, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general attitude to risk.

If uncertain, ask your lawyer to provide guidance.
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Bordon
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Bordon conveyancing fees. 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 know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Bordon. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
My offer was accepted on a property in Bordon on 30/1/2025, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
