My previous solicitor has sent a quote for £1150 for freehold conveyancing in Tadworth. I’m hoping to downsize from a Victorian property for £250,000. Is this overpriced? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Tadworth?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you are content to expend time comparing prices you could decrease the fees slightly by say £125. On the other hand, you mightlive to rue opting for an an unknown conveyancer. If is important to be sure the solicitor can also act for your bank.

The vendors of the property we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing firm in Tadworth who has suggested a preliminary contract with a deposit two thousand pounds. Are such agreements recommended for Tadworth conveyancing transactions?
This type of arrangement isn't common in Tadworth, conveyancers are often inclined to direct clients away from them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Furthermore, there is no assurance that just because the seller has signed a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be tempted to break the agreement if they are offered a big enough offer to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may gain by reneging on the contract, however morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Tadworth concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
