Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from National Westminster Bank. I am now being charged double. Should I look for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the expense by say £125. That being said, providing that you were content with the assistance the firm offered you maycome to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to enquire that the solicitor can represent National Westminster Bank. You can employ our search tool to select a Dersingham conveyancing firm on the National Westminster Bank conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Dersingham.
IfI was to purchase a straightforward propertyin Dersingham mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Dersingham?
The only reduction in fees you would make on is the disbursement for searches. The lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your sellers lawyer, SDLT return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Dersingham 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

I am an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a house in Dersingham which will be marketed. The property has never been registered at HMLR and I'm told that some purchasers will insist that it is in place before they'll proceed. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
