The lawyer who dealt with my last purchase has sent a quote for £995 for fixed fee conveyancing in Alvaston. I am hoping to downsize from a Georgian detached home for £175,000. Is this too much? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Alvaston?

The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, you mightcome to rue choosing an an unknown lawyer. Don't forget to enquire that the solicitor can act for your mortgage company. You can use our search tool to locate a Alvaston conveyancing company on the banks approved list of lawyers which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Alvaston.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Alvaston conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?

Alvaston conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Lloyds directly.

Having spent time scouring consumer advice sites for a high-quality lawyer in Alvaston, most advise that I should instruct a CQS accredited lawyer. What is CQS?

Alvaston Conveyancing Quality Scheme law firms have achieved accreditation under the Law Society's Scheme (CQS) The Law Society established CQS to promote high standards in the home legal process. CQS helps consumers to recognise practices who provide a quality residential conveyancing. Alvaston is one of the many areas in England and Wales in which accredited firms have offices. The conveyancing scheme requires law firms to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-reporting, random audits and yearly assessments in order to maintain CQS status. It is available to solicitors and not licensed conveyancers and has the support of the Association of British Insurers.

My wife and I are planning on selling our home in Alvaston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Alvaston. We have lived in Alvaston for three years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Alvaston is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Alvaston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Alvaston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Alvaston may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I'm remortgaging my existing property to a BTL loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on another property. The location we are looking at is Alvaston. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?

Do use our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are on the appropriate lender panels. On the basis that they are the conveyancer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should talk with you conveyancer and communicate your desired outcome and needs.
