My previous lawyer has given a fee estimate £1150 for no move no fee conveyancing in Marple Bridge. I am selling a Georgian property for £300,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Marple Bridge?

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian property in Marple Bridge. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Aldermore. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
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 Marple Bridge and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
