Our family solicitor has quoted £995 for fixed fee conveyancing in Shrewton. I am hoping to downsize from a purpose built house for £225,000. This appears over the top. Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Shrewton?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. Where you are prepared to spend time scrutinising quotes you might reduce the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would much rather instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Shrewton?
You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel conveyancers where you accept the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank to determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Shrewton.
I bought my flat on 6 August and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Shrewton expressed confidence that it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Shrewton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Shrewton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Shrewton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Shrewton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shrewton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shrewton may decide 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 residence.

Should one remove a departed person's details from the title register for a property in Shrewton?
Where a Shrewton property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a disposal your conveyancer would just need to evidence why the co proprietor is missing from the transfer, such as a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing smoother for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party removed from the title by submitting an application to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
