Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Newcastle Emlyn who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from TSB. I am now being charged twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. Where you are happy to invest time contrasting quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were satisfied with the legal work the firm offered you couldcome to rue opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to check that the solicitor can represent TSB.

My solicitor has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Newcastle Emlyn. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
