The solicitor who dealt with my former purchase has given a fee calculation of £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Gunnersbury. I am selling a Georgian detached home for £150,000. This sounds over the top. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Gunnersbury?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you could trim some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you couldlive to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Remember to ensure the solicitor can act for your mortgage company.

Me and my fiancee are buying our first house. The property lawyer has e-mailedto enquire if we wish to take out extra conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's needed for conveyancing in Gunnersbury
The quantity and type of Gunnersbury conveyancing searches should be triggered based primarily on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information the searches could provide. Then you can decide if you consider that you need that information. Should you be uncertain, ask your solicitor to offer guidance.
We are selling our property in Gunnersbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Gunnersbury conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gunnersbury. We have lived in Gunnersbury for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I own a terraced Georgian property in Gunnersbury. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?
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 Gunnersbury 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 purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Gunnersbury is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Gunnersbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gunnersbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gunnersbury 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.
