Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Yeading who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Barnsley Building Society. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate fees are a little high. If you shop around you might decrease the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were content with the assistance the firm gave you maycome to rue opting for an a cheaper lawyer.

is it true that all Yeading solicitor firms on the TSB conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the TSB approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the CLC.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Yeading conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for Co-operative to forward the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative completed the valuation? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

My wife and I have a semi-detached Victorian house in Yeading. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking The Mortgage Works 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Yeading and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Yeading. I am am starting to be disappointed with the quality of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?
They would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been generated? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new solicitor and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your new conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added fees and delays. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers. The search tool will help you find a lender approved conveyancer for your home move in Yeading
We are in the throes of selling our flat in Yeading. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged a fortune by the landlord. So far we have issued a cheque for £268 for a leasehold management pack and then another £118 for supplemental queries raised by the purchaser's lawyer.
Neither you or your property lawyer will have any control over the level of the charges for this information however the average fee for the information for Yeading leasehold premises is £350. When it comes to Yeading conveyancing transactions it is usual for the seller to pay for these charges. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to address such questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no legislation that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. There is no set time limit by which they are duty bound to provide the information.
