Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Thames View who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Aldermore. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I seek out an alternative conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you you were to look around you could decrease the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds.

Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Thames View?
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Thames View and Solicitor practices in Thames View to choose from We would stress that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. The two can deal with other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
My conveyancer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Thames View conveyancing?
The appropriate level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Thames View. The Thames View property was put into my name in May. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Some banks would take a practical view as this requirement is primarily there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Thames View I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Thames View suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
