Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Hilton who acted for me two years ago and wanted a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Clydesdale. I am now being charged double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?
The costs illustration is slightly on the expensive side. If you are willing to invest time comparing charges you could trim some of the expense by as much as £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were content with the legal work the firm gave you mightcome to regret opting for an an untested solicitor. Remember to ensure the conveyancer can act for Clydesdale.

Me and my fiancee are buying our first property. Our conveyancing practitioner has contact usto check if we want to purchase additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Hilton
The range of Hilton conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general attitude to risk. What is important is that you adequately understand what information the searches could supply. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that information. Should you be in doubt, ask the conveyancer to explain.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Hilton with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not reveal to my solicitor about the deal as it could 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 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 decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Hilton in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend not grant a loan on this type of premises.
