Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Cinderford who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Aldermore. It looks as though am now being charged double. Should I look for a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you are happy to expend time comparing quotes you could trim some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm offered you maycome to regret opting for an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to be sure that the conveyancer can act for Aldermore.

I am soon to exchange buying a house in Cinderford but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors in the sum of three thousand pounds by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Coventry BS will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Your lawyer that is on a Coventry BS conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Coventry BS of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the reduction to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Cinderford.
The deeds to my property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Cinderford 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Cinderford is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Cinderford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cinderford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cinderford may decide 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.
