My family lawyer has given a fee calculation of £1350 for freehold conveyancing in Maze Hill. I am looking to sell a newly refurbished house for £300,000. This appears over the top. Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Maze Hill?

My wife and I are planning on selling our property in Maze Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Maze Hill. Having lived in Maze Hill for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
