IfI was to purchase a simple residential homein Wedmore for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Wedmore?

The sole saving you would make on is the disbursement for searches. A conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers lawyer, stamp duty return, register the title etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Wedmore who is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Santander . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Wedmore.

I own a renovated Georgian property in Wedmore. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wedmore and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Wedmore before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to issue a loan on such a home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you call us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wedmore. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
