My friend's brother is a conveyancing practitioner. I suspect that I'll be able to get mate’s pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of fees should I be expecting for conveyancing in Bishopston?

Our god-son is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Bishopston with a mortgage from RBS. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the RBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the RBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My husband and I have organised the release of further funds on our home loan from Lloyds as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our house in Bishopston. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Bishopston solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Lloyds would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Bishopston solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Co-operative are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Bishopston I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bishopston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a house in Newport but reside in Bishopston. My solicitor (based 235 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Bishopston who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Bishopston based
My brother is purchasing a basement flat in Bishopston. He was given a quote by the property lawyer recommended by the estate agents totaling £1245 . It was fifteen years ago I sold and bought a house and the bill was £600. Have charges really gone up that much?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance Bishopston searches, land registry fees, etc)
