I was referred a conveyancer who has quoted £1350 for leasehold conveyancing in Pattingham. I am looking to sell a purpose built property for £200,000. This appears over the top. Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Pattingham?

The charges are a bit high. Where you are content to expend time contrasting costs you might shave off some of the expense by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you mightlive to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to be sure that the solicitor can also act for your lender.

Last May we completed a house move in Pattingham. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Pattingham?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Pattingham. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted.

I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Pattingham. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Norwich and Peterborough Building Society to clarify?

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Pattingham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
