Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Ladywell who completed the legal work two years ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. I am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, assuming were pleased with the conveyancing the firm gave you couldcome to regret choosing an an untested solicitor. Don't forget to enquire the firm can represent Nationwide Building Society.

I am buying my first flat in Ladywell with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
