We were about to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Steyning listed using your comparison tool but stumbled across some other estimates via the web seem less pricey – how come?
There are numerous conveyancing organisations offering at first sight what seems to be cut price.

IfI was to purchase a freehold housein Steyning mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Steyning?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the Steyning conveyancing searches. Your lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.
We decided to purchase a newly converted flat in Steyning with a loan from Chelsea Building Society.We have a Steyning conveyancing solicitor but Chelsea Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Chelsea Building Society panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for a Chelsea Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Chelsea Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors will be on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society
I acquired my home on 7 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Steyning said it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Steyning uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Steyning registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
