Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Toddington who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from TSB. I am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper online property lawyer?
The charges are a tad high. If you you were to look around you could decrease the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were happy with the service the firm gave you maycome to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to check that the firm can also act for TSB.

My partner and I have just purchased a property in Toddington. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Toddington?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Toddington. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Toddington.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Toddington is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Toddington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Toddington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Toddington may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Do I need to be suspicious by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Toddington conveyancing practice?
As with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward solicitors to use. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your house move.
