Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Waltham Abbey who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were happy with the service the firm offered you maycome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. If is important to be sure that the solicitor can act for Barclays Direct.

I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham Abbey. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the Virgin Money approved list of lawyers. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Waltham Abbey concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 asset 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Waltham Abbey is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Waltham Abbey are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Waltham Abbey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Waltham Abbey may ascertain 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.
