The lawyer who dealt with my former purchase has sent a quote for £1200 for leasehold conveyancing in Thame. I am selling a newly refurbished property for £150,000. Is this too much? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Thame?
The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. If you shop around you might shave off some of the expense by say £125. On the other hand, you mightcome to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor.

We have rather brash sellers who has suggested a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such arrangements generally advanced for Thame conveyancing transactions?
This kind of preliminary agreement isn't frequently used in Thame, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they divert attention from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be motivated to break the agreement if they receive a large enough offer to do so because a wronged claimant with the benefit of a lockoutcontract will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not amount to the extra amount that the owner may secure by breaching the contract, however morally reprehensible the behaviour is.
We previously chose solicitors with offices in Thame on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for handling the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Principality but by your Thame property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Principality panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from Aldermore as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Thame. Do we need to appoint a nearby Thame solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Aldermore don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.
