IfI were to purchase a freehold homein Acrefair mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Acrefair?
Any savings you would gain would be limited to the Acrefair conveyancing searches. A lawyer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers conveyancer, SDLT submission, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it will not be a lot.
I am purchasing a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Acrefair who is on the Nottingham Building Society approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Acrefair conveyancing practitioners have to pay an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
is it true that all Acrefair solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Acrefair conveyancing solicitors are selected. How long does it take for Principality to send the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality completed the valuation? Have you informed Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
What is different about your site and other online quote calculators for conveyancing in Acrefair?
At this site receive a fixed fee quote via a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that has a full understanding of the issues of your conveyancing in Acrefair. Unlike many estate agents and many comparison sites we do not have commission deals with solicitors. A large number of agents and online brokers 'recommend' solicitors who pay the most per referral, rather than the best value conveyancing in Acrefair
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Acrefair
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Acrefair conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
We are in the throes of selling our flat in Acrefair. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the landlord. To date we have paid £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £117.20 for additional queries raised by the buyers property lawyer.
You will not have any say over the level of the bill for this information but the typical costs for the information for Acrefair leasehold premises is £355. When it comes to Acrefair conveyancing sales it is customary for the owner to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer such questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no legislation that requires capped fees for administrative tasks. There is no set time limit by which they are obliged to issue answers.
