Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Brighouse and Rastrick who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the steep side. Where you are willing to spend time comparing charges you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT.

My fiance and I wish to acquire a 2 bedroom apartment in Brighouse and Rastrick with a homeloan from HSBC Bank.We use our Brighouse and Rastrick conveyancing lawyer but HSBC Bank says she’s not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a HSBC Bank panel lawyer 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?
No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the HSBC Bank conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank
I completed on my flat on 11 September and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Brighouse and Rastrick said it should be concluded in less than a month. Are transfers in Brighouse and Rastrick particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Brighouse and Rastrick registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
