My previous lawyer has quoted £1200 for fixed fee conveyancing in Wollaton. I am selling a purpose built property for £125,000. This seems too much. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Wollaton?
The quote is fractionally on the steep side. If you shop around you could shave off some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds.

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Wollaton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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 property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wollaton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wollaton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wollaton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wollaton 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 property.
