Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Meir who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Halifax. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate fees seem a bit high. Where you are willing to expend time contrasting prices you could reduce the fees marginally by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the assistance the firm gave you maycome to regret opting for an an unknown solicitor. Remember to ensure the firm can also act for Halifax.

When it comes to lenders such as Lloyds, do Meir solicitors face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being a right pain. The Meir solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Meir has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your estate agent will wish to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (be sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Contact RBS or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding forms. RBS will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Meir.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Meir?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Meir. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Am I best advised to appoint a Meir conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can conduct the conveyancing however they are based over three hundred kilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Meir conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Meir know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Meir conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
