Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Finchampstead who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?
The charges appear a little high. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds.

We expect to receive a OIP from Bank of Ireland this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Bank of Ireland recommend any Finchampstead solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Finchampstead. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Barclays panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, UBS are being problematic. The Finchampstead solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS 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.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Finchampstead I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Finchampstead suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
