AssumingI was to purchase a freehold housein Colchester mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Colchester?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the Colchester conveyancing searches. Your conveyancer is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with the sellers solicitor, SDLT submission, register the title etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be a lot.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Colchester 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you can buy or sell your house without a hitch. Where duplicates can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.

I have been advised by a couple of local estate agents in Colchester to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t make any commission for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Colchester
It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Colchester conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
