Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Clarborough who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The quote is slightly on the high side. If you are content to spend time contrasting quotes you might shave off some of the expense by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm gave you maycome to rue opting for an an untested conveyancer. Remember to be sure that the conveyancer can also act for Skipton Building Society.

We are about to exchange contracts for a property in Clarborough. We encountered a stumbling block. The mortgage offer with Barclays Direct expires on 24/3/2026 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 26/3/2026. Can one extend the loan offer?
The best person to address this question is your conveyancer who should determine if they corresponding with the bank, seller’s solicitors, selling agents or conceivably all three based on the history of your house move as of today.
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Clarborough completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Clarborough is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Clarborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Clarborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clarborough may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Clarborough. I happened to stumble upon a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
