Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Alperton who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. I am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate fees appear a little high. If you are happy to spend time contrasting quotes you may be able to decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were happy with the assistance the firm offered you couldlive to rue choosing an an unknown conveyancer.

As a FTB what is the most important number one tip you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Alperton?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Alperton and elsewhere in North London is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Alperton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My husband and I have recently had an offer agreed on a house and had an appointment on Tuesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a solicitor that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will be subject to an a further charge of £200. This is because they will then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested HSBC to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with HSBC. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to locate a solicitor in Alperton on the approved list for HSBC.
