AssumingI was to acquire a freehold housein The Hyde mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in The Hyde?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the The Hyde conveyancing searches. Your conveyancer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your vendors solicitor, SDLT return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be meaningful.
As a FTB what is the most important advice you can impart about purchase conveyancing in The Hyde?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in The Hyde or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in The Hyde is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in The Hyde
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred The Hyde conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
If all goes to plan we aim to complete our sale of a £450,000 apartment in The Hyde next Monday. The landlords agents has quoted £300 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in The Hyde?
The Hyde conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to such questions most will be content to do so. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.
