Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Harefield who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from Alliance & Leicester . I am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?
The costs illustration is slightly on the steep side. If you shop around you may be able to decrease the fees slightly by perhaps £125. That being said, if you were content with the assistance the firm provided you couldlive to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire the conveyancer can also act for Alliance & Leicester .

is it true that all Harefield conveyancing solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the TSB approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from UBS as we want to carry out alterations to our property in Harefield. Do we need to choose a local Harefield solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
UBS do not ordinarily require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS panel.
We were going to get a AIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Harefield solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Harefield solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
I am buying my first flat in Harefield benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the lender. 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.
