I was referred a conveyancer who has given a fee estimate £1150 for leasehold conveyancing in Grahame Park. I’m looking to sell a Georgian house for £200,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Grahame Park?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. If you are happy to spend time comparing costs you might trim some of the expense by say a hundred pounds.

It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Grahame Park. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could stored with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Grahame Park involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Grahame Park registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Grahame Park
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Grahame Park conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
