Why would one use a Sawston conveyancing company when internet based conveyancers are less overpriced?
Its a good idea to scrutinise conveyancing costs in Sawston and you should seek a reasonable estimate but don’t become consumed with scouring the internet for the cheapest Sawston conveyancer.

I am downsizing from our home in Sawston and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Sawston. Having lived in Sawston for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Sawston took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Sawston ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks may not grant a mortgage on this type of property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Nationwide. If you contact us we can check with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Sawston. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
My father-in-law has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Sawston. Should I use them?
