One can find lots of conveyancers marketing theoretically looks to be very low prices.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to list firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Ladywood?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.
A friend advised me that if I am buying in Ladywood I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

I'm buying a new build house in Ladywood with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about this deal as it will put at risk my loan with the lender. 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.
I work for a busy estate agency in Ladywood where we see a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Ladywood conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I purchased a leasehold flat in Ladywood, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Ladywood with over 90 years remaining are worth £221,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2096
With only 70 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
