My previous lawyer has given a fee calculation of just over a thousand pound for no sale no fee conveyancing in Spalding. I’m selling a Edwardian property for £250,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Spalding?

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Spalding. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Spalding and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Spalding prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Spalding.
