We decided to go with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Cheam last week. Looking through the terms of engagement I seewe are responsible for costs even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and select a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Cheam?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract the cases that abort. You should be mindful that these deals generally do not cover disbursements such your Cheam conveyancing search fees.

I am buying a new build house in Cheam with a mortgage from Alliance & Leicester . The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead.

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.
