My partner’s brother is a property lawyer. I am hopeful that I can be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of costs should I be paying for conveyancing in Dursley?
Do compare pricing. Do use our comparison tool on this site. Whilst amounts seem to be different but service levels do are distinct between conveyancers as is true with most professions.
My property lawyer in Dursley is not on the Barclays Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Barclays panel?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Dursley solicitors but Barclays will need to use a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the overall conveyancing charges as well as cause delays.
- Find an alternative solicitor to to deal with the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Barclays panel
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Dursley for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Dursley conveyancing specialists.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Dursley. I have chance upon a web site which appears to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all the legals done via email that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

Dursley conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not involves the purchaser’s lawyer submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable charge for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is above £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to complete the sale of your home.
