I was referred a solicitor who has sent a quote for £1350 for fixed fee conveyancing in South Petherton and Lambrook. I am hoping to sell a Victorian detached home for £300,000. This seems overpriced. Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in South Petherton and Lambrook?
The costs illustration is slightly on the steep side. If you are content to invest time scrutinising costs you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by as much as £125. That being said, you maylive to regret opting for an an untested solicitor. Don't forget to ensure the conveyancer can also act for your mortgage company.

Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in South Petherton and Lambrook you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in South Petherton and Lambrook)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is expelled from the Skipton Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in South Petherton and Lambrook?
First, 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.

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located.
