My previous conveyancer has quoted £1400 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Forest Row. I am hoping to downsize from a Edwardian property for £225,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Forest Row?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side. If you shop around you might trim some of the cost by as much as £125. That being said, you mightlive to regret choosing an an untested lawyer. Remember to ensure the conveyancer can act for your bank.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Forest Row house deals. Is that correct?

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Forest Row concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
