I was recommended to a solicitor who has sent a quote for £1700 for freehold conveyancing in Beddgelert. I’m selling a Georgian property for £225,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Beddgelert?

I am buying a brand new apartment in Beddgelert and my conveyancer is informing me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and my preference is not to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

I am expecting a OIP from HSBC this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Beddgelert solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Beddgelert solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Beddgelert conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Beddgelert conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Beddgelert conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:
