The costs illustration they've given of £450 plus VAT has taken me by surprise as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you you were to look around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £125.

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in East Grinstead and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?

If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in East Grinstead you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in East Grinstead)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in East Grinstead.

I'm purchasing a new build house in East Grinstead with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

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.
