Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Castelnau who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Santander. It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you are prepared to spend time comparing costs you might trim some of the expense by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were content with the service the firm offered you mightcome to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to enquire the firm can act for Santander.

We're in Castelnau, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Lloyds , and our solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
We previously selected solicitors locally in Castelnau on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Principality?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Principality but by your Castelnau solicitor. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

Intending to buy a house in Castelnau. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Castelnau lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
