My previous lawyer has sent a quote for £1350 for no move no fee conveyancing in Ruskington. I am selling a Victorian house for £175,000. Is this too much? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Ruskington?

How does conveyancing in Ruskington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ruskington approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Ruskington typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ruskington or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Ruskington
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your own,trusted Ruskington conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
