I was recommended to a solicitor who has quoted £1200 for freehold conveyancing in Hillingdon. I’m hoping to sell a purpose built property for £275,000. This seems overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Hillingdon?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. Where you are content to spend time scrutinising costs you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you couldcome to regret choosing an a cheaper solicitor. If is important to be sure that the solicitor can act for your bank.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Hillingdon?
You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the mortgage company and ask if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Hillingdon.
I completed on my house on 6 May and my personal details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Hillingdon said it should be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Hillingdon uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hillingdon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Hillingdon and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to business leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated.
