Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Dorking?
If you are buying a property in Dorking your lawyer will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. Generally this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. If any deposit is payable against the total price then this should be needed shortly before exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Virgin Money Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Dorking?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
When it comes to lenders such as Santander, do Dorking property lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

My fiancee and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Dorking and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have a conveyancing practitioner on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with RBS.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the selling agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Intending to buy a flat in Dorking. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Dorking property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing a new build house in Dorking with a loan from Barclays Direct. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it would put at risk my loan 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.
