The solicitor who helped my last purchase has given a fee calculation of £1400 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Henlow. I am looking to sell a Edwardian house for £175,000. This sounds too much. Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Henlow?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. Where you are willing to expend time comparing quotes you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. On the other hand, you maylive to rue opting for an an untested lawyer. Remember to be sure the conveyancer can represent your mortgage company.

I am expecting a OIP from Kent Reliance this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Henlow solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Henlow solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I have a mortgage with Nottingham for my property in Henlow. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nottingham?
Nottingham must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nottingham’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nottingham directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Nottingham conveyancing panel firm.

Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Henlow.
