The conveyancer who assisted with my last purchase has quoted £1150 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Hackney. I’m looking to sell a Georgian detached home for £300,000. This appears overpriced. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Hackney?
The charges are a little high. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, you mightcome to regret opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to enquire that the conveyancer can also act for your lender.

I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Hackney for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hackney conveyancing specialists.
I have been recommended by numerous property agents in Hackney to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
