IfI were to purchase a simple residential homein Ellesmere for cash and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Ellesmere?
The sole reduction in fees you would achieve is the disbursement for searches. The solicitor is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty return, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage however it won't be significant.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Ellesmere?
Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Speak to the bank and explore if they offer you a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Ellesmere.
I'm buying a new build house in Ellesmere with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about this deal as it may adversely 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%.
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.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden apartment in Ellesmere. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
