Our family solicitor has given a fee calculation of £995 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Poynton. I am looking to sell a Victorian house for £275,000. This seems overpriced. Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Poynton?

The Poynton conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Poynton have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I needed a solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and my previous Poynton lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Poynton.

Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the money is legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not dealing E's in Ibiza.
In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Poynton conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Proof of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
