My previous lawyer has quoted £1150 for fixed fee conveyancing in Frodsham. I am looking to sell a Victorian house for £175,000. Is this too much? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Frodsham?
The charges are a tad high. If you are prepared to invest time contrasting prices you may be able to shave off some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you mightcome to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. Remember to enquire that the firm can also act for your lender.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Frodsham. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Nationwide Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you advise?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Frodsham. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Frodsham?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are planning to move property in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Frodsham. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only be done once the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Frodsham or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Frodsham.
We had selected conveyancers based in Frodsham on the Skipton solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Skipton but by your Frodsham lawyer. Numerous firms on the Skipton panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
My wife and I have a terraced Georgian property in Frodsham. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Halifax. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Halifax to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Frodsham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
