Recently contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Bagillt who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or should I try and find an alternative conveyancer?
The quote is slightly on the expensive side. If you you were to look around you could decrease the fees slightly by say a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm gave you maycome to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer.

We are witnessing a distinct creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You should always trust your solicitor above all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Bagillt with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it will affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
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.
I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Bagillt where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Bagillt conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
