I am acquiring a house mortgage free in South Petherton. I have lived for the previous Seventeen years in South Petherton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then almost all of the South Petherton conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. On occasion properties with functional issues can still throw up adverse search results.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather use a South Petherton based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers should you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company and ask if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near South Petherton.

We had chosen conveyancers with offices in South Petherton on the Lloyds solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for handling the Lloyds mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Lloyds?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Lloyds but by your South Petherton property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Lloyds panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

Intending to buy a apartment in South Petherton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

I am purchasing a new build house in South Petherton with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would affect my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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 have been pointed in your direction by three or four local property agents in South Petherton to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t make any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

I have today had an offer accepted on a leasehold flat in South Petherton and the broker that we are using suggested his solicitor. They quoted nine hundred pounds including VAT and disbursements. Does this sound steep?
