Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Shillington who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Britannia. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper online firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you you were to look around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say £125. That being said, providing that you were satisfied with the assistance the firm gave you couldcome to rue choosing an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to check that the solicitor can act for Britannia.

At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Shillington and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Shillington you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Shillington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Now that you have for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you now have to find a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are faced with a tight deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will likely include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer requires.

You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from RBS as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Shillington. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Shillington solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
RBS do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS panel.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Shillington lawyer on the Nottingham panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Shillington is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Shillington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shillington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shillington may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
