Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Shiremoor who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home 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 quote is fractionally on the high side. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm offered you maycome to regret opting for an an unknown solicitor. Remember to be sure that the firm can also act for Chelsea Building Society.

I am acquiring a house for cash in Shiremoor. I have lived for the last Seventeen years in Shiremoor. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Shiremoor conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it may be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion premises with functional issues can still reveal unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Shiremoor will provide you some practical advice here.
We are downsizing from our property in Shiremoor and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Shiremoor. We have lived in Shiremoor for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Shiremoor completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
I am purchasing my first flat in Shiremoor benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it could affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
