Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Broadclyst who acted for me 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Leeds Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or do I try and find an alternative conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the assistance the firm gave you mightcome to rue opting for an an untested conveyancer. Don't forget to be sure the firm can act for Leeds Building Society.

We are buying a newly built duplex in Broadclyst and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to sign contracts and I have no desire to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I am assisting my mother sell her house in Broadclyst. Will the conveyancer commission an energy assessment or do I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s became a mandatory component of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not something that law firms ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Broadclyst conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Broadclyst providers
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Broadclyst is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Broadclyst completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
