My fiance’s brother is a conveyancing practitioner. I expect that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Ambleside?

The Ambleside conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Ambleside have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my family Ambleside lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What should be my next steps?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to assist.
I purchased my flat on 16 October and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Ambleside advises it will be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Ambleside uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Ambleside registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Ambleside with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it may affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
