Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Pewsey who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Coventry Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the expensive side. If you shop around you could trim some of the expense by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were satisfied with the legal work the firm offered you mightlive to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. If is important to enquire that the solicitor can represent Coventry Building Society.

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Pewsey. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Pewsey involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Pewsey. I I am struggling to find out whether they are accepted on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should phone the lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Alternatively please get in touch with Nottingham Building Society who may be able to assist.
Various web forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of hinderance in Pewsey house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Pewsey.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Pewsey 10 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
