Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Clevedon who conducted the legals two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Clevedon is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Clevedon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Clevedon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Clevedon may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Should I be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Clevedon conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often input from relatives can be very helpful. But there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may put forward lawyers to use. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most lenders operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the lender related work in your house move.
What is the distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Clevedon?
Conveyancing - in Clevedon or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re buying and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for negotiating the buying price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects before you complete your move.
