My previous solicitor has sent a quote for just over a thousand pound for freehold conveyancing in Taverham. I’m hoping to downsize from a modern detached home for £225,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Taverham?
The charges are a bit high. Where you are content to spend time contrasting fee on a like for like basis you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you mightlive to rue opting for an an untested lawyer. If is important to check the conveyancer can represent your bank.

We are planning to move property in June. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Taverham. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only occur once the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Taverham or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Taverham.
We were going to get a OIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any Taverham solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Taverham solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
Our offer on a property in Taverham has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Taverham. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Nationwide?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Taverham conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in Taverham.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Taverham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
How does conveyancing in Taverham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Taverham come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Taverham typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Taverham or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their chosen solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Taverham
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Taverham conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
