Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Burton Joyce who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side. If you are happy to invest time comparing prices you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by say £100 plus VAT.

IfI were to acquire a freehold homein Burton Joyce mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Burton Joyce?
The sole saving you would make on is the Burton Joyce conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with your vendors property lawyer, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a charge however it will not be significant.
The Burton Joyce conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Burton Joyce have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a lawyer on the Santander conveyancing panel and my previous Burton Joyce lawyer was not. I paid them £170 on account. What should be my next steps?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Santander conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of hinderance in Burton Joyce conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Burton Joyce.
I am downsizing from my house. My past solicitors has retired. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Burton Joyce if that makes a difference.
