Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Cheadle who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being difficult. The Cheadle solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Cheadle , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Cheadle conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration is dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Cheadle registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Cheadle differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cheadle come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Cheadle tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Cheadle or who has acted in the same development.
