Having been recommended your site we were going to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Cowley recommended on your site but stumbled across alternative costs illustrations on the internet look less pricey – how come?

There are lots of conveyancing organisations advertising at first sight what seems to be the cheapest conveyancing in Cowley. We would urge you to think twice about how much you respect your own move to want to be penny wise pound foolish concerning the quality of the conveyancing. Many of them highlight a bargain quote to catch your eye but plant additional fees in the fine print..

Our Cowley lawyer has identified a difference between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

My wife and I have a renovated Georgian house in Cowley. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cowley 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 enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
