Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Creekmouth who conducted the legals two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you you were to look around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were happy with the conveyancing the firm offered you maylive to rue choosing an an untested solicitor. Remember to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for The Mortgage Works.

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
