My friend's dad is a conveyancing practitioner. I anticipate that I can be offered mate’s fee for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Whitton?
It’s sensible to request 3 or more like-for-like conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this site. Whilst fees may contrast greatly but service levels do differ between law firms as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

We had selected solicitors located in Whitton on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further sum for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Lloyds but by your Whitton property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Lloyds panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
I am downsizing from our home in Whitton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Whitton. Having lived in Whitton for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I work for a reputable estate agent office in Whitton where we see a number of flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Whitton conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
