Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Park Royal who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm provided you maycome to regret choosing an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire the conveyancer can act for Chelsea Building Society. Do employ our search tool to get a quote a Park Royal conveyancing firm on the Chelsea Building Society approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Park Royal.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Park Royal. I I would like to check if they are on the Chelsea Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
You should phone the lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise you can call Chelsea Building Society who may be able to help.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of stalling in Park Royal house deals. Is that correct?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Park Royal.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Park Royal?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Park Royal is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Park Royal are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Park Royal you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Park Royal may ascertain 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 premises.
