My wife and I are acquiring a newly constructed duplex in Withernsea and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the mortgage company to disclose incentives from the builder. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I have no desire to delay deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?

It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Withernsea conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
We had appointed conveyancers located in Withernsea on the TSB solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by TSB?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by TSB but by your Withernsea conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the TSB panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Withernsea has been accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Withernsea. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Withernsea conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with searches.

We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Withernsea
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Withernsea conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
