My best friend’s uncle is a property lawyer. I expect that I can be offered mate’s rates for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Norfolk?

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years built) in Norfolk. Almost all the flats are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Norfolk?
Conveyancing Searches are a vital link in the Norfolk conveyancing process. There are numerous search providers who offer Norfolk conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are generally termed personal search organisation and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authority.
I am selling our house in Norfolk and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Norfolk lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Norfolk. We have lived in Norfolk for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just bought a semi-detached house in Norfolk , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Norfolk conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Norfolk registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Norfolk prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
