My previous lawyer has given a fee calculation of £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Welshpool. I’m selling a Georgian house for £275,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Welshpool?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. Where you are prepared to invest time scrutinising prices you could shave off some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Georgian property in Welshpool. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Barclays to clarify?
You need to read 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 Welshpool 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 mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Welshpool. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Welshpool are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area can assist with the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are buying in Welshpool so you should seriously consider looking for a Welshpool conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’spermission to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your solicitor should advise you fully on all the issues.
