Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Hazlemere who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. I am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or do I seek out a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT.

I am helping my aunt sell her house in Hazlemere. Will the conveyancer order an EPC or do I organise this?
After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a required element of selling a property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned prior to the property being placed on the market. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Hazlemere conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with reputable local assessors
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Hazlemere lawyer on the HSBC panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your HSBC mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so
How does conveyancing in Hazlemere differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Hazlemere contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Hazlemere typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Hazlemere or who has acted in the same development.

In the event that it has you must advise them of the new contact details and have the offer are re-issued. Your conveyancer should be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid escalating costs and delays. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

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 taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
