Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Ewloe who conducted the legals 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Should I look for a cheaper internet conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the legal work the firm offered you maycome to regret choosing an an unknown lawyer. Don't forget to ensure that the firm can act for Yorkshire Building Society. Do make use of our search tool to find a Ewloe conveyancing firm on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Ewloe.
IfI were to buy a simple residential homein Ewloe mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Ewloe?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the costs for searches. Your conveyancer still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers solicitor, SDLT return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a charge but it won't be meaningful.
Are the Ewloe conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Skipton conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Skipton?
Ewloe conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Skipton directly.
My grandfather passed away six months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Ewloe. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £5k. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Nottingham, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Where you intend to re-mortgage then Nottingham will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

I can see plenty of here concerning conveyancing in Ewloe but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Ewloe
Do not opt for the lowest Ewloe conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, TSB are being pedantic. The Ewloe solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Intending to buy a house in Ewloe. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ewloe conveyancer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
