Our family lawyer has given a fee estimate £1350 for leasehold conveyancing in Templecombe. I am hoping to downsize from a Victorian property for £175,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Templecombe?

My wife and I purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Templecombe. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Templecombe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
