Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in West Molesey who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Birmingham Midshires. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Should I hunt for an alternative conveyancer?

The quote is fractionally on the high side. Where you are content to expend time comparing costs you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were happy with the service the firm gave you couldlive to rue choosing an an unknown solicitor.

These days conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders undertake their communications through the post, internet or over phone calls.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in West Molesey took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Am in the process of purchasing my 1st home in West Molesey. Conveyancing practitioner already selected. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the property was only constructed 16 yrs ago.

You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises is more than ten years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be enough. The report should highlight any apparent issues and recommend further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any indications of material issues get a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
