Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Camelford who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Clydesdale. I am now being charged double. Should I look for an alternative conveyancer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the expensive side. If you are willing to invest time comparing charges you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by as much as £125. That being said, if you were content with the legal work the firm provided you mightcome to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. Remember to ensure the solicitor can act for Clydesdale.

We are planning on selling our house in Camelford and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Camelford lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Camelford. We have lived in Camelford for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I used Stirling Law several years ago for my conveyancing in Camelford. Now, I need the documents but cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on a garden flat in Camelford I would like to talk to a solicitor about myhouse move prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we encourage - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be doing your conveyancing in Camelford.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Camelford should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
Am I best advised to use a Camelford conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can conduct the legal work but his firm is located over three hundred miles away.
The benefit of a local Camelford conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Camelford know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were content that must surpass using an unknown Camelford conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
