I was recommended to a conveyancer who has given a fee estimate £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Audley. I am selling a newly refurbished property for £150,000. This appears too much. Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Audley?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you may be able to shave off some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds.

My fiance and I are refinancing our penthouse in Audley with Coventry BS. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Coventry BS conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this giving up his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Coventry BS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Coventry BS. This is solely used to protect Coventry BS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Coventry BS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
My husband and I are buying a purpose built apartment in Audley with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society.We like our Audley conveyancing solicitor but Yorkshire Building Society says he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a Yorkshire Building Society panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society
