We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Leek conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.

I am expecting a OIP from Santander this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Leek solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Leek solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Leek is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Leek are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Leek you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Leek may decide 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 property.

In sourcing the internet for the term conveyancing in Leek it shows results of numerous property lawyersin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancer for my move?

The ideal method of seeking a suitable conveyancer is via trusted referral, so ask colleagues and family who have purchased a property in Leek or the respected estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Leek differ, so it's sensible to request a minimum of four fee calculations from varying types of property lawyers. Be sure to secure confirmation that the fees are fixed.

My wife and I have selected a Leek conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have spotted in the Ts and Cs that they are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be worried or is that the norm with lawyer?

We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. They will be regulated by the SRA, who set specific stipulations in relation to amounts deposited in their bank.
