I was recommended to a solicitor who has given a fee estimate just over a thousand pound for no move no fee conveyancing in Honiton. I’m hoping to sell a modern detached home for £275,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Honiton?
The charges are a bit high. If you are willing to spend time scrutinising costs you could reduce the fees marginally by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you mightcome to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for your mortgage company.

I sincerely hope you can help me. My Honiton lawyer is assuring me that she is duty bound toconduct Honiton conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Is my conveyancer right?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Honiton conveyancing searches.
I purchased a freehold residence in Honiton but nevertheless invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Honiton and has limited impact for conveyancing in Honiton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
