Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Bounds Green who acted for me 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The charges appear a little high. If you you were to look around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps £125. On the other hand, if you were content with the service the firm provided you maycome to regret choosing an an unknown lawyer. Remember to ensure the solicitor can act for Birmingham Midshires.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bounds Green is more expensive?

My fiance and I intend to purchase a newly converted flat in Bounds Green with a mortgage from TSB.We have a Bounds Green conveyancing solicitor but TSB informed us her practice is not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint a TSB panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a TSB panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The mortgage issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the TSB solicitor panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for TSB

I'm buying a new build house in Bounds Green benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it could affect my mortgage with the bank. 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.
