The solicitor who assisted with my last purchase has sent a quote for £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Dinnington. I’m looking to sell a modern property for £175,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Dinnington?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you couldlive to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Don't forget to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for your lender.

My fiance and I intend to remortgage our flat in Dinnington with Kent Reliance. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Kent Reliance. This is solely used to protect Kent Reliance if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Kent Reliance had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would much rather appoint a high street conveyancing solicitor in Dinnington?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you take up the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank to determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Dinnington.
I am purchasing my first flat in Dinnington with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with The Mortgage Works. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Dinnington is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Dinnington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Dinnington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dinnington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Given that I am about to part with £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in Dinnington I would like to talk to a conveyancer about myhome move ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
