is it true that all Burton upon Stather conveyancing solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We were going to get a AIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Burton upon Stather solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Burton upon Stather solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Burton upon Stather property lawyer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Burton upon Stather surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Various web forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Burton upon Stather house deals. Is that correct?

Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Burton upon Stather.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Burton upon Stather?

I am purchasing my first flat in Burton upon Stather with a mortgage from TSB. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it could affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
