My previous conveyancer has given a fee calculation of £1150 for freehold conveyancing in Sutton On Sea. I am selling a Georgian detached home for £275,000. Is this over the top? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Sutton On Sea?
The estimate does seem marginally overpriced. Where you are willing to spend time comparing charges you might trim some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, you mightcome to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to enquire that the firm can represent your mortgage company.

We are selling our flat in Sutton On Sea. Will my lawyer need to be required to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian house in Sutton On Sea. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Sutton On Sea and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
