My previous conveyancer has quoted £1350 for no move no fee conveyancing in Bottesford. I am looking to sell a modern house for £275,000. Is this overpriced? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bottesford?
The charges are a bit high. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you couldlive to regret opting for an an unknown solicitor.

We are selling our flat in Bottesford. Will my solicitor have to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

Back In 2006, I bought a leasehold house in Bottesford. Conveyancing and TSB mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Bottesford who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Bottesford conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Should one remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a house in Bottesford?
If a Bottesford property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a sale you would simply need to evidence why the other owner is missing from the conveyance, usually this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you can apply to have the deceased person removed from the title entries by submitting an application to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
