I was recommended to a solicitor who has quoted £1700 for fixed fee conveyancing in Ferndown. I am hoping to downsize from a Victorian house for £150,000. Is this too much? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Ferndown?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds.

My flat in Ferndown is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
I am purchasing a victorian detached house in Ferndown. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve investigations to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Ferndown can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Certain extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
