Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Frogmore who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Clydesdale. I am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or should I try and find an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the expensive side. Where you are prepared to invest time scrutinising quotes you may be able to shave off some of the cost by say £125.

What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Frogmore?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Frogmore or throughout Hampshire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, selling agent and on occasion a lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Frogmore should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may attempt to sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
I completed on my flat on 14 October and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Frogmore said it would be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Frogmore particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Frogmore registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
