My fiance’s step-father is a conveyancing practitioner. I anticipate that I will receive preferential fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Dollis Hill?
It’s prudent to obtain multiple conveyancing estimates. Do use our search tool on this page. The fees may contrast greatly but the service one can expect differ between conveyancers as is the case with most professions.
My wife and I are due to exchange buying a property in Dollis Hill but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Barclays are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on a Barclays conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Barclays of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to report the reduction to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Dollis Hill.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the Aldermore Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Dollis Hill?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

We are selling our house in Dollis Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Dollis Hill. We have lived in Dollis Hill for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
