Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pontefract

Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Pontefract who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?

The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125.

We are purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Pontefract who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a Pontefract based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to see if they allow a monetary 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 Pontefract.
