I am acquiring a house without a mortgage in Holmrook. I have lived for the last dozen years in Holmrook. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

On occasion premises with functional issues can still throw up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Holmrook should provide you some constructive advice here.
We are planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Holmrook who is on the UBS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to instruct their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Holmrook?
You should check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to ask if they offer you a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Holmrook.
We expect to receive a OIP 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 Holmrook solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Holmrook solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
My wife and I are spending time viewing houses in Holmrook and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Nationwide.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the EA. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Nationwide, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Holmrook conveyancing practitioner on the Barclays panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I am buying a new build house in Holmrook with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this extras as it may adversely affect 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.
