The solicitor who helped my former purchase has quoted just over a thousand pound for leasehold conveyancing in Horncastle. I’m selling a Edwardian detached home for £225,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above the norm for conveyancing in Horncastle?

I am aiming to move house in February. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Horncastle. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only take place after the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Horncastle or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Horncastle.
My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from TSB as we wish to carry out alterations to our property in Horncastle. Do we need to appoint a local Horncastle solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
TSB would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the TSB list.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Lloyds are being difficult. The Horncastle solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds 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.
Me and my brother own a renovated Edwardian house in Horncastle. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Horncastle and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
