Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Stokesley who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I seek out a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little steep. Where you are willing to invest time comparing charges you could decrease the fees marginally by as much as £125. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the service the firm gave you couldcome to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer.

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Stokesley took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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'm buying my first flat in Stokesley with a loan from Halifax. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Stokesley prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a loan on this type of premises.

There are a lot of houses in Stokesley on unadopted lanes. We are buying one such house. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of buying a property on a privately owned road?
Stokesley conveyancing firms are used to dealing propertieson unadopted roads. The conveyancer should investigate title to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners pay into to maintain the road. If one exists, the road will likely be maintained and look better than council adopted.
