The solicitor who assisted with my previous purchase has given a fee estimate £1350 for freehold conveyancing in Ardleigh Green. I’m looking to sell a Georgian detached home for £300,000. This seems overpriced. Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Ardleigh Green?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldlive to rue opting for an an untested lawyer.

I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Ardleigh Green but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Ardleigh Green and has limited impact for conveyancing in Ardleigh Green but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Ardleigh Green. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel. Could you assist?

We are downsizing from our property in Ardleigh Green and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ardleigh Green. We have lived in Ardleigh Green for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Ardleigh Green concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ardleigh Green is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ardleigh Green are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ardleigh Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ardleigh Green may ascertain 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 residence.
