Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Ovingham who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Virgin Money. I am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or do I seek out an alternative conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the high side. If you are content to expend time comparing costs you may be able to shave off some of the cost by say £125. On the other hand, providing that you were happy with the service the firm provided you mightcome to regret choosing an an untested solicitor.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian house in Ovingham. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society 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 Ovingham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Ovingham is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Ovingham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ovingham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ovingham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Ovingham, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Ovingham with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2093
You have 69 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus 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 cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
