Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Marford who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from TSB. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?
The charges are a little high. Where you are happy to spend time contrasting costs you might shave off some of the cost by say £125. On the other hand, if you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm offered you couldlive to rue opting for an an unknown conveyancer.

Completed the sale of my flat in Marford last March yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to say his solicitor is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your solicitor should forward the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where appropriate, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been repaid to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Marford.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Marford what would it be?
Do not opt for the cheapest Marford conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from TSB as we intend to conduct alterations to our property in Marford. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Marford solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
TSB do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB conveyancing panel.
We expect to receive a OIP from Clydesdale this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Marford solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Marford solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.
Just acquired a terraced house in Marford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Marford conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Marford registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Marford is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Marford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Marford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Marford may ascertain 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 premises.
