My previous conveyancer has sent a quote for £1400 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Bickley. I’m selling a Edwardian house for £150,000. Is this overpriced? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Bickley?

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bickley? Is this really necessary?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Bickley conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.
Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are duty bound to investigate not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor ending their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your property lawyers will have an obligation to notify the relevant authorities should they consider that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Bickley I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bickley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
