Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Norfolk who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Yorkshire Building Society. I am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or should I seek out an alternative conveyancer?

I am about to exchange buying a house in Norfolk but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree recompense from the vendor of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Skipton will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
The property lawyer being on the Skipton approved list is duty bound to inform Skipton of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Norfolk.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Norfolk , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Norfolk conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Norfolk is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I previously advised by my lender that their approved solicitors work on no sale no charge basis for conveyancing in Norfolk. My purchase did not proceed yet the lawyers have requested search fees! They are claiming that the fees are independent!
Norfolk conveyancing search fees are disbursements not legal costs as these are payable to a third party.
