Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Kineton who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Should I hunt for an alternative conveyancer?
The costs illustration is slightly on the expensive side. If you are willing to expend time comparing quotes you could decrease the fees slightly by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldcome to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to be sure that the firm can also act for Leeds Building Society.

Can you help? My Kineton solicitor is advising me that he has toapply for Kineton conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santandersolicitor panel. Is my lawyer correct?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Kineton conveyancing searches.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Kineton. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Kineton?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Kineton. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Virgin Money as we want to conduct alterations to our property in Kineton. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Kineton solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Virgin Money don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money list.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. Kineton conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nationwide done the valuation? Have you advised Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
