My previous lawyer has sent a quote for £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Longlands. I’m looking to sell a modern house for £200,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Longlands?

We are buying a house and the solicitor has identified Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to contribute to as it falls into the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this strictly required for conveyancing in Longlands

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Longlands completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Longlands I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Longlands suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
What does commercial conveyancing in Longlands cover?

By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements.

New build sellers have suggested I use a solicitor and I've received an estimate from them. It's almost two hundred pounds cheaper than my own Longlands lawyer. Should I use them?
Developers frequently have lists of conveyancers who expedite matters and who know the developer’s contract and property lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose their approved solicitor for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder won't recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the conveyancing stall when they demand an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Longlands conveyancer.
