I am searching for value for money property lawyer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer rather than a high street Hamworthy conveyancing solicitor?
Generally conveyancing practitioners in your location will have excellent connections with your local authority, which could help with the Hamworthy conveyancing searches that your lawyer will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they have existing relationships with the Local Land Registry Office your area Hamworthy, other conveyancers in the location and Hamworthy Estate Agents.

I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Hamworthy lawyer on the UBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Hamworthy. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Shortly after, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

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.
