Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Linton who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from TSB. I am now being charged twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper internet conveyancer?

Me and my fiance are about to exchange on the purchase a property in Linton but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the owner of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however the mortgage company will not permit this. Should they have been notified?

If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to your lender then they would have to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
