I was recommended to a conveyancer who has quoted £1400 for fixed fee conveyancing in Bury. I am looking to sell a Edwardian property for £300,000. Are the quoted fees excessive? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bury?

The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you shop around you could reduce the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, you couldlive to rue choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to enquire the firm can act for your lender.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bury?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Bury concluded. 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 residence 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.
