Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Hampshire who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Birmingham Midshires. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The charges appear a tad high. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £125. That being said, assuming were pleased with the service the firm offered you maycome to rue opting for an an unknown conveyancer. If is important to check that the solicitor can also act for Birmingham Midshires.

We are buying a house and the conveyancer has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the property could be obligated to contribute to because it falls into the area of such a church. She has recommended insurance. Is this strictly warranted for conveyancing in Hampshire
Unless a prior purchase of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you could expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Hampshire to continue to recommend a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Hampshire took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Hampshire I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hampshire suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Taking into account that I will soon part with £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in Hampshire I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding theconveyancing prior to instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
