IfI were to purchase a freehold housein Trowbridge Estate for cash and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Trowbridge Estate?

Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the Trowbridge Estate conveyancing searches. A conveyancer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your sellers conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it won't be significant.

Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Trowbridge Estate. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On completion day we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

We are getting the release of further funds on our home loan from HSBC as we want to carry out alterations to our home in Trowbridge Estate. Are we obliged to select a high street Trowbridge Estate solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

HSBC would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC list.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Trowbridge Estate off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Trowbridge Estate. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to 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 Trowbridge Estate and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
