First, If the seller is applying time constraints to exchange it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local connections and insight. It is possible that they would have conducted previoushomes in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Gaydon conveyancing firm. Second, check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Gaydon with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my loan with the bank. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent told us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Gaydon
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Gaydon conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
