Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Burscough who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I hunt for a cheaper online property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you are willing to spend time contrasting costs you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by perhaps £100 plus VAT.

Don't forget to be sure the solicitor can represent Barnsley Building Society.

Just bought a detached house in Burscough , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Burscough conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Burscough is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years left on my lease in Burscough. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to track down the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent would be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Burscough.
