My previous conveyancer has sent a quote for £1700 for leasehold conveyancing in Edenthorpe. I’m selling a modern detached home for £200,000. This seems overpriced. Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Edenthorpe?
The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you shop around you might decrease the fees slightly by as much as £125. On the other hand, you maycome to regret opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to be sure the solicitor can also act for your mortgage company.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Edenthorpe. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Nottingham Building Society approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

We are purchasing a flat in Edenthorpe. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Edenthorpe building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Edenthorpe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the solicitor is on the mortgage company approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being a right pain. The Edenthorpe solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Edenthorpe is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Edenthorpe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Edenthorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Edenthorpe 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 residence.
Are Edenthorpe conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to issue transparent conveyancing costs?
Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are specific rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be regarded as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Edenthorpe or across England and Wales.
