Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Sutton Coldfield who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Halifax. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you you were to look around you could decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £125. That being said, assuming were satisfied with the legal work the firm offered you mightlive to rue opting for an an unknown conveyancer. Remember to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for Halifax.

My husband and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Sutton Coldfield and my mum and dad have sent the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to disclose this to my bank. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
Your conveyancer is legally required to check with the bank to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
