AssumingI were to buy a freehold homein Chaddesden for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Chaddesden?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the Chaddesden conveyancing searches. The lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers lawyer, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it won't be significant.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Chaddesden. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking HSBC Bank to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Chaddesden and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

I have been advised by a few estate agents in Chaddesden to find a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your services over a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
