I was referred a lawyer who has sent a quote for £1350 for leasehold conveyancing in Chellaston. I’m hoping to downsize from a modern property for £125,000. Is this expensive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Chellaston?

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Chellaston costs more?

This is because there is an amount of extra time required in corresponding with the landlord and managing agents to obtain information about whether the rent and service charges have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

I moved into my apartment on 11 October and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Chellaston advises it would be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Chellaston particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Chellaston registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I was advised by a few estate agents in Chellaston to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
