Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Diss who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Barclays . It looks as though am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you you were to look around you might reduce the fees marginally by say £125. That being said, providing that you were satisfied with the service the firm offered you maylive to regret choosing an a cheaper conveyancer.

My partner and I are selling our house in Diss and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Diss conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Diss. We have lived in Diss for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Diss is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Diss are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Diss you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Diss may determine 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 residence.
