My family lawyer has sent a quote for £995 for leasehold conveyancing in Eden Park. I am hoping to downsize from a newly refurbished property for £125,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of the norm for conveyancing in Eden Park?
The charges are a tad high. If you are content to expend time scrutinising quotes you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds.

When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Eden Park and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Eden Park you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Eden Park)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Eden Park took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 property 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.
How does conveyancing in Eden Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Eden Park come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Eden Park usually buy the site, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Eden Park or who has acted in the same development.
