My previous lawyer has given a fee estimate just over a thousand pound for leasehold conveyancing in Bushey. I’m hoping to downsize from a purpose built house for £275,000. This sounds expensive. Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bushey?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a mortgage company your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Bushey conveyancing searches.

I moved into my home on 7 October and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Bushey expressed confidence that it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Bushey particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Bushey is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Bushey with a loan from Aldermore. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it would affect my loan 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%.

The primary upside of using a local Bushey conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign documents, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Bushey conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.
