Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Oldland who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from National Westminster Bank. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you you were to look around you could shave off some of the cost by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, assuming were content with the assistance the firm offered you mightlive to regret choosing an an unknown solicitor. Remember to ensure the conveyancer can represent National Westminster Bank.

We are about to exchange buying a property in Oldland but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however Co-operative will not permit this. Why were they informed?
Any solicitor that is on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is required to advise Co-operative of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Oldland.

How does conveyancing in Oldland differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Oldland contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Oldland tend to acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Oldland or who has acted in the same development.
