El Cid Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 £800 - £1000 I was thinking it might be cheaper than buying a house from another person? ---------- Post added 24-03-2017 at 13:29 ---------- £800 - £1000 This is what Google says - "How much conveyancing fees? The UK average cost of residential conveyancing is “approaching £850” according to reallymoving.com. But that doesn't include the Land Registry Fee, Bank Transfer Fees, Disbursements, Search Fees and all other associated costs. From our research, the average price for all the other associated costs is around £450." I have just been quoted £550 + VAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Cid Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Try Coats solicitors in Mosborough. they are well recommended, they have served me well and currently still are. I dont live in the area, so I have chosen one close to where I live. I am choosing an online Mortgage though. Probably with the Coventry BS.

For information for anybody els, your solicitor/conveyancer does all there work through the post, there is no physical contact at all with anybody. The person that does have physical contact is the surveyor. hope this helps somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 For information for anybody els, your solicitor/conveyancer does all there work through the post, there is no physical contact at all with anybody. But some people do prefer to meet the solicitor face-to-face; and I try to aim at that if it's Sheffield-based client purchaser. On a purchase, whether from the Local Housing Authority or otherwise, there are far more aspects needing careful advice- esp. if it's leasehold.

flopsy Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hi can anyone help My dad died recently. left his house to me so now am in the process of selling and it looks like I will have a cash buyer. but need some advice. 1. on the deeds are both my mum (who died 15years ago) and dads name. do I have to do anything about this? 2. can the buyer use the old searches which I have copies? 3. would it be better if the buyer and myself used the same solicitor? 4. how much would it cost me to complete the transaction? 5. how long would the whole process take to completion? I know its a long list but have read through all the thread and everyone else's problems were straight forward. In anticipation thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how your father + she owned it, her share might have passed under her Will (or on intestacy); but it might have devolved on your father- by operation of law- if they were beneficial joint tenants. 2. No. 3. No- conflict of interest, you see. 4. The fees will depend on reply to point 1, and on the property's value, and on whether or not it's already registered, and on whether it's freehold or leasehold. 5. No idea. But it might take as little as a month if all the paperwork is in order. Edited April 7, 2017 by Jeffrey Shaw Typo corrected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
