AssumingI were to buy a simple residential housein Highbridge mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Highbridge?
The sole saving you would achieve is the disbursement for searches. Your conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your sellers lawyer, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it won't be meaningful.
My Conveyancer in Highbridge is not on the Skipton Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Skipton Building Society approved list?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Highbridge solicitors but Skipton Building Society will need to instruct a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional overall legal charges and cause delays.
- Get a new practitioner to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are Skipton Building Society approved.
- Try to convince your Skipton Building Society solicitor to seek to join the Skipton Building Society panel

We previously chose solicitors locally in Highbridge on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Highbridge conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Coventry BS are being a right pain. The Highbridge solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS 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.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Highbridge 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical original deeds to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
My cousin has urged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Highbridge. Should I find my own conveyancer?
There are no two ways about it the best way to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to have guidance from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm you're contemplating using.
