Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Cheddleton who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you might shave off some of the cost by say a hundred pounds.

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years old) in Cheddleton. 95% of the properties have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Cheddleton?
You are taking a significant risk in failing carrying out Cheddleton conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would absolutely advise in the strongest possible terms that your lawyer conducts them. Where speed and expenses are primary issues you should discuss with your lawyer about the option of search insurance

We had instructed solicitors located in Cheddleton on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Cheddleton solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I have justfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Cheddleton for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out 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 Cheddleton conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Cheddleton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Cheddleton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Cheddleton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cheddleton may ascertain 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 property.
