I was recommended to a conveyancer who has quoted just over a thousand pound for no sale no fee conveyancing in Cottenham. I am selling a Edwardian property for £200,000. This appears over the top. Is it above the average fee for conveyancing in Cottenham?
The charges are a tad high. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you maycome to rue opting for an a cheaper lawyer.

I am nearing an exchange on a property in Cottenham and my mum and dad have transferred the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The lawyer is legally required to clarify with the bank to make sure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only report this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We are planning on selling our home in Cottenham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Cottenham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cottenham. We have lived in Cottenham for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I'm buying a new build house in Cottenham with a mortgage from Britannia. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a property in Cardiff but live in Cottenham. My conveyancer (who is 235 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising.
