Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Westonzoyland who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I seek out an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. Where you are happy to spend time contrasting prices you might decrease the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the legal work the firm gave you mightcome to regret opting for an an untested lawyer.

It is is a decade since I bought my home in Westonzoyland. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Westonzoyland relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.
Will our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Westonzoyland.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Westonzoyland. There are those who purchase a property in Westonzoyland, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Westonzoyland. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the vendor to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the owner, then a buyer may bring a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect reply. The buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an environmental search. This should indicate if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Westonzoyland is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Westonzoyland are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Westonzoyland you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Westonzoyland may determine 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 residence.
