IfI was to acquire a straightforward homein Eastney and Southsea mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Eastney and Southsea?
The sole saving you would achieve is the Eastney and Southsea conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it will not be meaningful.

I own a renovated Georgian house in Eastney and Southsea. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Eastney and Southsea and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
My husband and I are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been referred to solicitors by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Eastney and Southsea. I am not happy. Can you help me find new solicitors?
A conveyancer would need to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been issued? If so you must inform them of the replacement lawyer and have the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added fees and delays. That should be your starting point.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
