Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Witham who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Better the devil I know or should I seek out an alternative property lawyer?
The estimate fees seem a little high. If you you were to look around you could decrease the fees slightly by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, if you were satisfied with the service the firm offered you maycome to regret opting for an a cheaper lawyer. Don't forget to enquire that the solicitor can represent Yorkshire Building Society.

We have very brash sellers who has recommended a lock out agreement with a down payment 10k. Are such arrangements promoted for Witham conveyancing transactions?
Lock out contracts are agreements binding a property owner and purchaser giving the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the premises for a limited period of time. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity is a document stating that you will receive a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be utilised for buyer assurance though in some cases, the vendor may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are many pros and cons to using an agreement but you need to check with your solicitor but note that it may result in incurring extra in conveyancing charges. For this these agreements are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Witham.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a Witham based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers where you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender and check if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Witham.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Witham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the flipping of property.
