I was recommended to a solicitor who has sent a quote for £1200 for no move no fee conveyancing in Turvey. I’m hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished detached home for £200,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Turvey?
The charges are a little high. If you are content to expend time scrutinising costs you might shave off some of the cost by perhaps £125.

I'm the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Turvey. The Turvey property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Turvey. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Turvey building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Turvey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Turvey is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Turvey are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Turvey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Turvey may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
