I went with a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Redhill recently. After carefully reading the small print I noteI am on the hook for charges even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or instruct a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Redhill?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to cover those conveyances that abort. Do bear in mind that such arrangements tend not to cover expenditure such your Redhill conveyancing search expenses.
We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Redhill and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my property lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my solicitor needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
The conveyancer is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. The solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Redhill benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with TSB. 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%.

Do I need to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a web based conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Redhill conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all suggest lawyers to use. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
