My previous solicitor has sent a quote for £1150 for no move no fee conveyancing in Easton. I’m hoping to downsize from a purpose built house for £300,000. Is this overpriced? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Easton?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Easton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Easton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Easton you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Easton 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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Easton
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Easton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
