My previous lawyer has quoted £1200 for leasehold conveyancing in Bedworth. I’m selling a newly refurbished detached home for £275,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bedworth?

My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in Bedworth. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bedworth and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
