Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Pantymwyn who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or should I try and find a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate fees seem a tad high. If you are prepared to invest time comparing costs you could shave off some of the cost by perhaps £125. On the other hand, assuming were satisfied with the assistance the firm gave you couldcome to rue choosing an an unknown lawyer. Remember to enquire the firm can also act for Lloyds TSB Bank.

We were just about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Pantymwyn. We encountered a problem. Our mortgage offer with TSB runs out on 1/10/2026 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 5/10/2026. Can one extend the mortgage offer?
The person best placed to address this issue is your lawyer who will assess if he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage company, vendor’s conveyancers, selling agents or indeed all three taking into account what has gone on in your transaction to date.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a Pantymwyn based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers should you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the lender to check if they offer you a cash alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Pantymwyn.
