The conveyancer who helped my last purchase has sent a quote for £995 for fixed fee conveyancing in Loddon. I’m hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished detached home for £225,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Loddon?
The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. Where you are content to spend time scrutinising fee on a like for like basis you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you mightcome to rue opting for an an untested conveyancer. Remember to check that the conveyancer can represent your lender.

At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Loddon and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Loddon you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Loddon)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am looking to buy a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Loddon who is on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for The Royal Bank of Scotland in certain locations such as Loddon. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We are planning on selling our house in Loddon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Loddon. We have lived in Loddon for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Edwardian house in Loddon. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Halifax to clarify?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Loddon and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Loddon before appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on such a premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Loddon. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Loddon especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Loddon.
