My family solicitor has sent a quote for £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Newquay. I’m selling a purpose built property for £125,000. This sounds too much. Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Newquay?
The charges are a little high. If you are content to expend time comparing prices you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldcome to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to enquire that the solicitor can represent your mortgage company.

I have a renovated Edwardian house in Newquay. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Newquay and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Newquay ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to give a loan on such a property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Newquay.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Newquay
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Newquay conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will give their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
