Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Hucknall who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a mortgage from Clydesdale. I am now being charged double. Better the devil I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet property lawyer?
The charges appear a tad high. Where you are happy to spend time scrutinising costs you might shave off some of the expense by perhaps £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the conveyancing the firm offered you maycome to regret opting for an a cheaper conveyancer. Remember to enquire that the solicitor can represent Clydesdale.

Should our lawyer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Hucknall.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Hucknall. There are those who purchase a property in Hucknall, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Hucknall. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard inquiry of the vendor to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a compensation claim stemming from an inaccurate response. A buyer’s solicitors should also conduct an enviro search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be made.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Hucknall with a mortgage from Skipton Building Society. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it would put at risk 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%.
