Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Princes Risborough who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from TSB. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £125. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the assistance the firm gave you mightlive to regret opting for an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to enquire the conveyancer can also act for TSB.

How does conveyancing in Princes Risborough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Princes Risborough approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Princes Risborough typically acquire the real estate, 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 Princes Risborough or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by numerous selling agents in Princes Risborough to locate a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over another?
We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Princes Risborough. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual as all ground rent and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
