I was recommended to a conveyancer who has quoted £1350 for freehold conveyancing in Killay. I am looking to sell a purpose built house for £225,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Killay?

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Killay. Almost all the flats are already disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Killay?
A big part of the Killay legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are numerous companies conducting Killay conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search organisation due to them carrying out, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authority.
I am selling our property in Killay and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Killay. Having lived in Killay for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with 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)
