I was recommended to a lawyer who has sent a quote for £1700 for fixed fee conveyancing in Saxilby. I am hoping to sell a newly refurbished detached home for £175,000. This appears too much. Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Saxilby?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you shop around you could decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you mightlive to rue choosing an a cheaper lawyer.

We see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Saxilby?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Saxilby.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a Saxilby based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the lender and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Saxilby.
three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Saxilby completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Saxilby. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Saxilby
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Saxilby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Saxilby are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Saxilby you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Saxilby 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 property.
