Our family solicitor has given a fee calculation of £1400 for fixed fee conveyancing in Shenley. I’m hoping to sell a newly refurbished property for £175,000. Is this too much? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Shenley?
The charges are a little high. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. That being said, you mightcome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to be sure the firm can act for your lender.

I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Shenley. I have resided for the previous 20 years in Shenley. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Shenley conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to consider; if you are going to sell the house one day, it could be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with functional issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Shenley should be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify solicitors on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Shenley?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
Have purchased a a detached house in Shenley , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Shenley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Shenley is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I have been pointed in your direction by a couple of local property agents in Shenley to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site ahead of another?
We refuse to give any referral fee for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
