Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Littleborough who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Nottingham Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the steep side. If you shop around you could decrease the fees slightly by perhaps a hundred pounds.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Littleborough. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Littleborough is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Littleborough conveyancing company?
As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may recommend lawyers to appoint. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to select your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that many lenders specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.

Where a Littleborough lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the value of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most Littleboroughlease extensions you would need to own the premises for a couple of years before you are entitled to exercise a lease extension.
My wife and I have instructed a Littleborough conveyancing solicitor for our home move (novice purchasers) and have picked up in the terms and conditions that they are not covered by the FCA. Am I right to be worried or is that the norm with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. They should be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set specific rules regulating funds sitting by them.
