We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Murton found by you but have come across some other costs illustrations via the web seem less pricey – why is this?
There are plenty of firms promoting so-called £99 conveyancing, but additionalcosts end up with the final invoice mounting up beyond all recognition.

I'm the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Murton. The Murton property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision chiefly exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
We previously appointed conveyancers with offices in Murton on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for the legal aspects of the Virgin Money mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Virgin Money?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Virgin Money but by your Murton conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Virgin Money panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nottingham are being problematic. The Murton solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
