My previous lawyer has quoted £1350 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Frogmore. I am hoping to downsize from a Victorian property for £150,000. Is this too much? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Frogmore?
The quote is slightly on the high side. If you are content to invest time comparing prices you might reduce the fees marginally by as much as a hundred pounds.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Frogmore. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Frogmore
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a house in Frogmore I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thehome move in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Frogmore. Conveyancing and Birmingham Midshires mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Frogmore who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Frogmore conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
