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.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Netherley conveyancer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Netherley is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Netherley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Netherley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Netherley may determine 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.
Am I better off to choose a Netherley conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the conveyancing but they are based 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Netherley conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Netherley know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should trump using an unknown Netherley conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
