I was referred a solicitor who has sent a quote for £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Royton. I am looking to sell a Edwardian detached home for £175,000. This seems over the top. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Royton?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you are prepared to spend time scrutinising costs you may be able to reduce the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you mightcome to regret opting for an an untested conveyancer. Remember to enquire the conveyancer can represent your mortgage company.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Virgin Money Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Royton?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I have todaybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Royton for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Royton conveyancing specialists.
I was recommended by three or four local property agents in Royton to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than another?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
