The lawyer who dealt with my last purchase has sent a quote for £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Wanborough. I am looking to sell a purpose built detached home for £225,000. This appears expensive. Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Wanborough?
The costs illustration is slightly on the expensive side. If you shop around you might shave off some of the expense by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, you couldcome to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. Remember to ensure the conveyancer can also act for your bank.

We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Wanborough. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Barnsley Building Society expires on 20/3/2026 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 24/3/2026. Can one extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to deal with your issue is your conveyancer who will hopefully calculate whether he or she is should be discussing with the lender, owner’s conveyancers, selling agents or conceivably all three based on the circumstances your conveyancing to date.
We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in Wanborough?
You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the lender to explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Wanborough.
My partner and I are planning on selling our home in Wanborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wanborough. We have lived in Wanborough for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Wanborough is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wanborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wanborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wanborough 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 property.
