Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Blackpool who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Santander. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I hunt for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The charges seem a tad high. Where you are prepared to spend time comparing costs you could decrease the fees slightly by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were satisfied with the service the firm provided you mightlive to rue choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to enquire that the conveyancer can represent Santander. Do employ our search tool to find a Blackpool conveyancing firm on the Santander approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Blackpool.
Please could you recommend a Clydesdale allowed Blackpool conveyancing practice who can have us moved in within under 3 weeks? Am I best advised to go for a local Blackpool practice or a factory type firm?

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when purchasing a property in Blackpool? or I am told that there is an ancient law that means some owners of property residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs to the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Blackpool?
Unless a prior acquisition of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Blackpool to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Blackpool. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Blackpool in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to give a loan on this type of property.

Am I right to be wary about third parties that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Blackpool conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be very helpful. But there are numerous people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to appoint. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
