I was recommended to a solicitor who has given a fee estimate £995 for leasehold conveyancing in Laindon.I’m hoping to downsize from a Georgian detached home for 300,000 + 25k increments. This appears overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Laindon?
The charges are a little high.If you shop around you might shave off some of the expense by as much as £125. That being said, you couldcome to regret opting for an an untested solicitor. Remember to check the conveyancer can also act for your lender.You can utilise our comparison tool to get a quote a Laindon conveyancing firm on the banks member panel which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Laindon.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Laindon.Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Laindon?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are planning on selling our house in Laindon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Laindon. Having lived in Laindon for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 illness)
