We instructed a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Goodrich yesterday. Looking through the terms of engagement I notewe are on the hook for fees even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I go with them or appoint an on-line solicitor practice offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Goodrich?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset the transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these deals generally do not protect you from outlay such as Goodrich conveyancing search fees.

Do conveyancers ask for an advanced payment for conveyancing in Goodrich?
If you are buying a property in Goodrich your lawyer will request that you place them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the sale price then this should be asked for shortly before exchange of contracts.

Should my conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Goodrich.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Goodrich. There are those who purchase a property in Goodrich, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Goodrich. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the vendor to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may commence a compensation claim as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also conduct an environmental report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Goodrich with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about this extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
