Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Fulham who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you you were to look around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, assuming were pleased with the service the firm provided you couldlive to rue opting for an an unknown conveyancer. Remember to check the conveyancer can represent Norwich and Peterborough Building Society.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Fulham I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Fulham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
I was recommended by a number of selling agents in Fulham to select a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site over another?
We don’t offer any referral fee for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am Googling for Fulham competitive conveyancing fees. Can I be confident that all the Fulham law firms that are listed on your site are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Fulham firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
