I was referred a solicitor who has sent a quote for £1200 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Hope. I’m selling a Georgian house for £275,000. This seems overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Hope?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. If you are willing to expend time comparing fee on a like for like basis you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you couldcome to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to enquire the conveyancer can act for your lender.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Hope. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Hope - 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 am the registered owner of a 2 bed flat in Hope, conveyancing having been completed 6 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Hope with an extended lease are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2095
With just 71 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
Why can't I complete our conveyancing in Hope on May bank holiday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the money will be transferred electronically between the banks of the buyer and owner’s solicitor and at present this can only occur on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
