My previous solicitor has sent a quote for £995 for fixed fee conveyancing in Burgess Hill. I’m looking to sell a purpose built detached home for £125,000. Is this expensive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Burgess Hill?

At what point does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Burgess Hill and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Burgess Hill you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Burgess Hill)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Burgess Hill for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Burgess Hill conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in Burgess Hill with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my lawyer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
