I was referred a conveyancer who has sent a quote for £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Copthorne. I’m hoping to sell a newly refurbished property for £250,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Copthorne?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldlive to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer. Remember to check the solicitor can act for your lender.

I do hope you can help me. My Copthorne conveyancer is informing me me that he has toapply for Copthorne conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Lloydsconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Copthorne conveyancing searches.
My husband and I wish to acquire a newbuild flat in Copthorne with a loan from Bank of Scotland.We use our Copthorne conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Scotland says her practice is not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Scotland use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that lawyers will be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland
I have recentlydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Copthorne for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Copthorne conveyancing specialists.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary house to a buy to let loan with TSB and intend to use the remaining equity towards another property. The location we are interested in is Copthorne. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two lenders and tie in the two deals?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the solicitors are approved by both banks. On the basis that they are your conveyancer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.
