I instructed a Woodside based firm for our conveyancing in Woodside recently. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for charges even if our purchase aborts. Should I ditch them and use an internet solicitor practice promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Woodside?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset the conveyances that do not proceed. Dont forget that these promotions rarely protect you from outlay such your Woodside conveyancing search costs.

I am considering applying for a Virgin Money mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Woodside with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel, but Virgin Money would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
I'm buying my first flat in Woodside with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk 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.
Am I right to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Woodside conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward solicitors to select. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of banks operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
