Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Stevenage who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online property lawyer?

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Stevenage took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we use their recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Stevenage
It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Stevenage conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
As a leasehold owner I am liable for a maintenance fee for my first floor flat in Stevenage. Due to redundancy and personal issues I fell behind with payments. I negotiated a payment schedule but there remains a couple of outstanding at the current time.
I want to sell and I am worried this may jeopardize the sale if I have to discharge the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this practicable?
It would be wise to speak with the lawyer dealing with your Stevenage conveyancing but one option might be to agree for the debt to be transferred to the buyers. The sale price due would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then deal with the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
