Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Waltham Abbey who acted for me 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from Britannia. I am now being quoted double. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. If you you were to look around you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, if you were content with the legal work the firm gave you mightcome to regret opting for an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to ensure that the conveyancer can represent Britannia.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham Abbey. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Aldermore approved list of lawyers. Can you help?
The first thing you should do is contact the lawyer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should get in touch with Aldermore who may be able to help.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Waltham Abbey concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Waltham Abbey is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Waltham Abbey are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Waltham Abbey you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Waltham Abbey 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 property.
My uncle has urged me to instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Waltham Abbey. Should I use them?
