I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Should I go for for an online conveyancer rather than a high street Brunswick Park conveyancing solicitor?
Established third party connections are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing solicitors. Brunswick Park conveyancers benefit from connections with mortgage brokers and property, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much more straightforward for you. Hosting a wealth of knowledge of the local area is an advantage.
My wife and I changing mortgage lender for our apartment in Brunswick Park with Virgin Money. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Virgin Money. This is solely used to protect Virgin Money if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Virgin Money had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in Brunswick Park?
Do check but the the probability is that appoint one of their panel lawyers if you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the mortgage company and determine if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few lenders offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Brunswick Park.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Brunswick Park benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. 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.
What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Brunswick Park conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Brunswick Park conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Brunswick Park conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:

If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not?
I am the leaseholder of a ground-floor 1960’s flat in Brunswick Park. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for a lease extension?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to calculate the price payable.
