Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Morden Park who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Nottingham Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the expensive side. Where you are happy to invest time comparing quotes you might shave off some of the cost by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the legal work the firm offered you maycome to rue opting for an an untested lawyer. Remember to ensure that the firm can represent Nottingham Building Society.

Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a house in Morden Park but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however RBS are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on the RBS approved list is duty bound to advise RBS of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to report the reduction to RBS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, RBS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Morden Park.
Should our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Morden Park.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in Morden Park. There are those who acquire a property in Morden Park, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Morden Park. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the owner to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s conveyancers should also conduct an environmental search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Morden Park for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Morden Park conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Morden Park is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Morden Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Morden Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Morden Park may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
