I was recommended to a lawyer who has sent a quote for £1400 for fixed fee conveyancing in Exeter. I am looking to sell a Victorian detached home for £200,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Exeter?
The charges are a tad high. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you couldcome to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor.

I am considering refinancing my house in Exeter, does my lawyer have to be on the Co-operative Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Co-operative will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

The primary upside of using a high street Exeter conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were content that should surpass using an unknown Exeter conveyancing solicitor just because they are Exeter based.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Exeter. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Exeter - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Exeter, conveyancing having been completed August 2005. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Exeter with a long lease are worth £191,000.

With just 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
