I was recommended to a conveyancer who has given a fee calculation of just over a thousand pound for leasehold conveyancing in Monken Hadley. I’m hoping to sell a modern detached home for £225,000. This appears too much. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Monken Hadley?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £100 plus VAT. That being said, you mightlive to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to ensure that the conveyancer can represent your mortgage company.

My wife and I swapping mortgage lender for our apartment in Monken Hadley with RBS. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the RBS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of RBS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I am purchasing a new build house in Monken Hadley with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it may impact my loan with National Westminster Bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Monken Hadley?
Conveyancing - in Monken Hadley or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects prior to you complete your move.
