Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Miskin who conducted the legals 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The charges seem a little high. If you shop around you could trim some of the expense by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were content with the conveyancing the firm gave you couldlive to regret choosing an an unknown lawyer. If is important to ensure that the conveyancer can act for Lloyds TSB Bank.

My husband and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Miskin and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not arrived from me my lawyer needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I disclosed to the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to delay the deal?
The lawyer is obliged to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only disclose this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
Having sold my house in Miskin last February yet the purchaser is calling every few hours to moan that their solicitor needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor should forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Miskin.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Miskin?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the lender and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Miskin.
