My previous conveyancer has given a fee calculation of just over a thousand pound for fixed fee conveyancing in Dersingham. I’m looking to sell a Edwardian property for £300,000. Is this expensive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Dersingham?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. Where you are willing to spend time contrasting fee on a like for like basis you could shave off some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds.

We have very pushy vendors who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
This form of agreement isn't common in Dersingham, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has executed a lock out agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may breach the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be legally obliged to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the financial upside that the owner may gain by breaking the contract, no matter how morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my home in Dersingham. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Dersingham involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Dersingham?
Conveyancing - in Dersingham or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects prior to you move in.
