In the event thatI was to purchase a straightforward propertyin Fairford for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much would I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Fairford?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the Fairford conveyancing searches. A solicitor still be obliged to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers solicitor, stamp duty return, register the title etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.
Is it the case that all Fairford solicitor practices on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be governed by the CLC.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Fairford conveyancing solicitors have been chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Kent Reliance?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Kent Reliance done the valuation? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Fairford has been accepted, now what?
Your estate agent will wish to be advised as to your conveyancing practitioner's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Bank of Ireland or the broker and finish off any relevant forms. Bank of Ireland will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Fairford.
I'm buying a new build house in Fairford with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage 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.

I was advised by numerous selling agents in Fairford to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
