I had a chat my previous Burntwood conveyancing solicitor who who did the conveyancing when I previously bought the premises. The costs illustration they've given of £450 plus VAT is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

How does conveyancing in Burntwood differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Burntwood come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Burntwood tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Burntwood or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Burntwood is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Burntwood are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Burntwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Burntwood may decide 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.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Burntwood and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial lessees, giving them the right to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Burntwood is one of the numerous locations in which the firms we work with are based
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Burntwood
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Burntwood conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
