Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Ardleigh Green who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of similar values with a loan from Aldermore. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for an alternative property lawyer?
The costs illustration is fractionally on the steep side. Where you are content to expend time contrasting charges you could reduce the fees slightly by say a hundred pounds.

My son-in-law is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Ardleigh Green with a home loan from UBS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am selling my flat in Ardleigh Green. Will my solicitor have to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society 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 requirements fairly frequently currently.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as a first time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Ardleigh Green. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ardleigh Green?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
