I was recommended to a solicitor who has sent a quote for £1700 for freehold conveyancing in Penn. I am selling a modern house for £300,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Penn?
The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. Where you are content to expend time contrasting quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. That being said, you maycome to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to ensure that the conveyancer can act for your bank.

What will a local search reveal concerning the house I am buying in Penn?
Penn conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search plays a central role in many a Penn conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Penn 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in Penn. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
