I was referred a solicitor who has quoted £1400 for leasehold conveyancing in Haxby. I’m looking to sell a Victorian house for £125,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Haxby?
The estimate does seem marginally steep. Where you are happy to spend time comparing fee on a like for like basis you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you couldcome to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to check that the conveyancer can act for your mortgage company.

The Haxby conveyancing firm handling our Haxby conveyancing has identified a difference when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor says that he must check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
This question may be naive but I am new to the process as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Haxby. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Haxby?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
Can you point me to a directory of Aldermore panel solicitors in Haxby on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings visible on the web. Where you are looking for a Haxby lawyer on the Aldermore please make the most of our tool.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Haxby conveyancer on the Skipton panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Haxby for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, 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 Haxby conveyancing specialists.
