My family solicitor has sent a quote for £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Leyburn. I am hoping to downsize from a modern detached home for £125,000. This appears too much. Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Leyburn?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you shop around you may be able to decrease the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you maycome to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire the firm can also act for your mortgage company.

Leyburn conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from UBS directly.
I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Leyburn based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to check if they offer you a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Leyburn.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Leyburn completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
