I am searching for value for money property lawyer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer rather than a local Wimborne conveyancing solicitor?

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a Wimborne based conveyancing firm?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" deal. Contact the lender to determine if they allow a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Wimborne.
What does a local search tell me concerning the house my wife and I purchasing in Wimborne?
Wimborne conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Searches UK The local search is essential in every Wimborne conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home.

Me and my brother own a terraced Edwardian house in Wimborne. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Britannia to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wimborne and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Wimborne with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
The financial adviser has suggested using their solicitor for my conveyancing in Wimborne - Surely it’s easier to just use them?
It is worth checking if the selling agent is recommending a property lawyer or introducing to a conveyancer. There are plenty of Wimborne selling agents who recommend two or three Wimborne conveyancing firms and get nothing from it.
