Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Ipswich who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you you were to look around you may be able to shave off some of the cost by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, if you were satisfied with the legal work the firm offered you mightcome to rue choosing an an unknown lawyer. Don't forget to ensure the conveyancer can also act for Yorkshire Building Society.

Are all Ipswich Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing list of approved firms?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their panels.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Ipswich conveyancing lawyers are appointed. How long does it take for Virgin Money to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Virgin Money done the valuation? Have you advised Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I bought my house on 13 June and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Ipswich advises it should be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Ipswich particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ipswich registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ipswich is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Ipswich are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ipswich you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ipswich may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
