We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather appoint a Sunningdale based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you take up the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank to explore if they make available a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Sunningdale.

Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Sunningdale.

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.
