I was referred a solicitor who has quoted £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Cranham. I am hoping to sell a Victorian detached home for £175,000. Is this expensive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Cranham?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. Where you are happy to invest time scrutinising costs you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you maylive to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. If is important to enquire that the solicitor can also act for your mortgage company.

Our solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Cranham. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor has advised that he must be satisfied that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.

Intending to buy a flat in Cranham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cranham conveyancer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
