Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Biddulph who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Should I hunt for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. Where you are prepared to expend time comparing quotes you might decrease the fees marginally by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the service the firm gave you couldcome to regret opting for an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire that the firm can represent Bank of Scotland.

In the event thatI was to buy a freehold homein Biddulph mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Biddulph?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the disbursement for searches. The conveyancing practitioner still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be significant.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Biddulph is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Biddulph are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Biddulph you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Biddulph 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 premises.
I bought a flat in Biddulph last 10/7/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancer told me that it can take over a year to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Should I be concerned?
Contact your conveyancer - if you are not getting sensible responses, find out about their internal complaints process and escalate your concerns to a Complaints Manager. Registrations for Biddulph conveyancing are not known to be especially complex.
