The lawyer who dealt with my previous purchase has quoted £1350 for leasehold conveyancing in Roundhay. I’m looking to sell a Edwardian detached home for £200,000. Is this overpriced? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Roundhay?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £125. That being said, you couldlive to rue choosing an an untested solicitor. Don't forget to ensure the conveyancer can also act for your lender.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Roundhay. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the TSB conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing to do is call your conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the lender. Otherwise you can get in touch with TSB who may be able to confirm.
My wife and I are selling our property in Roundhay and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Roundhay conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Roundhay. Having lived in Roundhay for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Roundhay?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Roundhay. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the bank solicitor panel.
