I was recommended to a solicitor who has given a fee calculation of £1400 for leasehold conveyancing in Aylestone. I am hoping to sell a modern house for £275,000. This appears overpriced. Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Aylestone?
The charges are a tad high. If you are content to spend time scrutinising prices you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. On the other hand, you maylive to regret opting for an an untested solicitor. If is important to enquire the solicitor can also act for your lender.

I purchased a freehold premises in Aylestone yet pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Aylestone and has limited impact for conveyancing in Aylestone 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 many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when purchasing a property in Aylestone? or I am told that there is an ancient law that could mean that house owners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this a legitimate concern for conveyancing in Aylestone?
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Aylestone to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
How does conveyancing in Aylestone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Aylestone approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Aylestone usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Aylestone or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Aylestone is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Aylestone are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Aylestone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aylestone 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 residence.
