Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Verwood who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or do I try and find an alternative property lawyer?
The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. If you are willing to expend time scrutinising quotes you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm offered you maycome to rue opting for an a cheaper lawyer.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for hinderance in Verwood house deals. Is there any truth in this?

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Verwood.
My fiance and I are buying a four room housein Verwood with a mortgage from a mortgage company. We would like to retain our solicitor in Verwood however our lender says he's not approved on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our mortgage company panel firms or stay with our Verwood solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Verwood : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
