Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Upminster who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you are prepared to spend time scrutinising quotes you could trim some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds.

I have a renovated Edwardian property in Upminster. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Santander to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Upminster and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Upminster is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Upminster are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Upminster you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Upminster may determine 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.
